Winder SummerFest

On Wednesday May 25, 2011 I photographed the SummerFest carnival at Jug Tavern Park in Winder for the Barrow Patch. SummerFest runs from the 25th until Monday May 30th. The first annual carnival offers visitors rides and attractions, games and your typical fair food such as corn dogs, funnel cakes and fresh squeezed lemonade. These are my favorite images.
