Last weekend was the third annual “Wasabi & Friends” trip to the Indian River County Firefighter’s Fair (www.firefightersfair.org).  The tradition started three years ago as a random act of fun by friends of mine, many of whom have are current and former theme park employees.  You see, if you work in a theme park you become used to the idea of being able to ride a thrill ride at any time and, because you see things behind the scenes, you know that you’re safe because of the amount of maintenence done to these rides.

That last fact is the main reason theme park employees (that I know) LOVE local fair rides… the thrill is real since, you know, you could actually die on those rickety contraptions.  The look of fear on the video below is FOR REALZ PEOPLES:

Pure fear.

You can watch videos from the fair here and check out the photos of AWESOME fair artwork and my friends here.

Thanks to Angie, Chris, John, Lyn, Kaleb, Kim, Tracy, and Troy for coming down to join Shannon and I again this year.  Zaniness Ensued.
