Mindener Messe

The fair is in town! It’s right on the river all lit-up and exciting looking. I took a trip down there in search of yummy food. It’s a very elaborate fair; I can’t believe some of the rides are actually carted around on trucks. A whole log flume for example, and this fun house “The Crazy Hotel Laugh-Show,” which is poking fun at Bayern (with its lederhosen and funny dialect).
There were also a couple of pony rides.
And very elaborate beer tents, most with wooden tables and menus and wait-staff. (You can kind of see the kids dancing inside this one.)
And all kinds of roasted nuts and gingerbread and candy.

Good food? YES! I had sautéed mushrooms and a hot waffle with cherries. Yum!
