I visited the Great Frederick Fair yesterday and shot some scenes (next week will be "fair week" on my blogs). Among the concessions at the fair, this one caught my eye, first because of the old red truck, and second because I was thirsty. The truck is a 1937 Ford with the root beer stand built on the back. The truck still runs and is tagged for highway use, but the proprietor hauls it on long trips. He travels to 20 fairs a year, mostly in New York, but also Pennsylvania, Maryland, North Carolina and Florida.

I like his outfit, too. We remembered that the Central Washington Fair was coming up starting this weekend when we passed a lot of similar rigs on our way home the other day.
I want a root beer float and what a cool place to get one!
I used to go to big steam fair around here, but I have not been for years. Fairs are great for photos. Tried root beer; doesn't work for me, but love the photos. I'll have to see how you get on with the 40DX. I have digital compacts and bridge cameras, but no DSLR. I love using 35mm monochrome film, so my SLR work is strictly film.
I enjoyed the post. Root Beer is one of my favorites.
Thanks for helping me to make history.

What a neat experience! I bet that guy has lots of memories of his travels with the root beer kid and that old truck!
Forgot to say that I dropped by to see if you had a bench and instead you had a counter!
That looks yummy. What fun, too!
