There's just something magical about eating three pieces of pizza, some onion rings and a deep-fried Snickers bar and then riding a roller coaster for 20 minutes while screaming at the top of your lungs until finally, on top of the world, you ... throw up all of it.
But that's the fair. And you love it.
That's because it's the one time of year when kids can be kids and adults can be, well, they can be kids, too. Today marks the beginning of the 53rd annual Coastal Carolina Fair at the Exchange Park in Ladson.
For those of you scoring at home, that's 53 years of wild animals, insane rides and crazy performers. And this year's installment is no different, featuring everything from petting zoos to a live honey bee exhibit, live entertainment and, of course, lots of stomach-churning rides. Sixty-six of them to be exact.
So grab the kids (and Pepto Bismol) and check out all the fair has to offer.
