Fairgoers Split on Rides as Vendors Highlight Coastwide Fair
At the fair, amusement rides draw mixed reactions with some riders praising speed while others skip the boat ride. Hypnotist Mark Yuzuik, rodeo horse shows, and novelty acts entertain along with balloon darts and basketball games for prizes. Jessica Davis, a third season worker, says food obsession tops the experience, citing funnel cakes and travel across the East Coast. Sankofa’s Workshop showcases handcrafted dream catchers and jewelry from Sankofa Gordon, who learned the craft self taught after moving from D.C.
