Southern Fun Carnival

Every Independence Day, Jefferson City has a big festival downtown - arts, crafts, old cars, music, carnival rides, corn dogs and funnel cakes - culminating in a riverfront fireworks show. It's always hot. There's always LOTS of people.

While out walking yesterday (in the heat - crazy - I know) I found the carnival's pre-fest hiding place - three blocks from my house in a parking lot for the old prison. I went out this morning and took some photos. There's lots more, but I just thought the elephant butts were cute!
