Fairgrounds Amusement Park
 


East Parkway between Southern and Central
 
There was a ride at the fairgrounds called The Old Mill.  Floating on a boat in water about 2 feet deep, watching in the dark for surprise scenes, but nothing like the last one where the donkey kicked and the noise made you jump every time, even though you were expecting it!

On the Carousel, reaching way out to grab a brass ring meant a free ride next time around.

The Zippin' Pippin was the greatest roller coaster in the world.
(Even Elvis thought so!)
 
 
There were always photographers to take a picture of you, or your whole family, with different backgrounds.  Here's one of those shots taken in 1955!
