Buzzing the Grand Stands

This ride is like an old friend. It was the very first ride they rode way back at the International Barbeque Festival in May. Since then they’ve experienced other carnival rides, playground rides and shopping cart car rides, but this one is special. Judging by their 1950’s styling, these cars have been circling this track for a half century. The Grands almost certainly watched Daddy ride in these cars as a boy, and those memories and stories are vivid today. Soon Benji and Trey Davey will outgrow these cars physically and intellectually and seek larger, more thrilling amusements. But today they are content to race around this well-loved oval under the adoring watch of some of their biggest fans.
