2009-04-05 18:30:16   This was quite fun indeed. Went on the ferris wheel with my sweetheart and then tried unsuccessfully to ingest a full giant pickle (I made it about halfway through). I couldn't have asked for a better Sunday afternoon. Also, free parking and free admission were a big selling point. I give Emerson Junior High an A+ —hokusman
