The Maui County Fair is a traditional part of Maui life which has been repeated annually for nearly 100 years (in 2020, it was postponed due to the Covid-19 pandemic). The traditional time is the first full weekend in October and starts off with a parade. It features rides, games, and fair food provided by E. K. Fernandez. Maui's agricultural history is reborn with the Livestock and Poultry Exhibit as well as the Horticulture Show. Talented kids and adults compete for ribbons in the Photo and Poster Contest as well as in the Hobbies & Craft Exhibit. A wonderful taste attraction is the Food Court with lots of traditional Hawaiian food such as Kalua Pig, Chicken Long Rice, Haupia, Teriyaki Pork and Malasadas — plus many mainland fair favorites. I've already shared my favorite attraction, the orchid show — but my little buddy Johnny's favorite attractions are the rides. A new system was in place this year from the traveling vendor, E. K. Fernandez Shows, Inc. — you have to purchase a card with credits for rides, games and food within the rides area (food in the Food Court is cash only — confused? Join the club). Each ride has a price and that is deducted from the balance on the card. So we purchased a card for Johnny with a $20 balance. He then headed for the rides and I headed for the orchid show — after designating a meeting place in case we had difficulty communicating by cell phone. When I came back from the orchid show, I took a few photos of the rides while I kept my eye out for my little buddy. I was certain he would not be here at the Ferris Wheel — too tame.
