“I like going here during the fair. It's a cool place to cool off if it's hot out. I enjoy seeing the things I can't afford and put them on my list of things I'll never get. My favorite is the mini vans. They have the best tech hoozits And gadgets a plenty. Very cool. Seems like a competition and a dance off.”
