For Sammi’s Weekend Writing Prompt where the given word is Jamboree.
‘
Last night I went to the Party in the Park, part of my town’s annual carnival week. Today will see the procession wind its way through the streets. On Tuesday I’ll be posting pictures of the entire event!

Closer, louder, closer, louder, and here I am!
People here, there, everywhere. A thumping beat draws my gaze. A band leaps, yells, carries along a waving crowd.
A smell temps my tastebuds. Sizzling burgers, sugary doughnuts. I grab a beer then mingle.
In the funfair, gaudy machines spin, climb, swoop, soar. Kids laugh, scream. Here ghost train there, there a slide.
The hiss, bang, dazzle, and crackle of fireworks bring the evening to a close. Home beckons.
Closer, quieter, closer, quieter, and here I am.

It sounds really fun!
It was great!
You’ve created a visual which is very enticing.
I’m pleased it came across, cheers Sadje.
👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼
Sounds like a good time!
Oh yes!
I’m glad–good to see you.
Wonderful sensory delights. I enjoyed the read very much!
I could have done with 186 words to fully give it justice!
Awesome! It is so fun to grapple with the parameters of a prompt. Welll done !
Woohoo for a good time! May I have some cotton candy, a candied apple, and a funnel cake? I promise to eat those AFTER the merry go round … 😉
If I’d known I’d have picked you some up!
Next time! 🙂
Oh those fairground smells never cease to tempt! Love the visuals here.
Thank you, so true!
I am right there with you….pass me a doughnut 🙂
Too late, I’ve eaten them all!
Oh no I’ll have to have have another chocolate biscuit 🙂
Such good times!
Indeed! Cheers, Mimi.
You really let us feel the joy of what a local carnival can feel like – and this is why we have them aprons the world eh?
The community and joy so we can “spin, climb, swoop, soar”
Absolutely so Prior!
You certainly captured the experience, Keith. Well done.
…as did you with yours Bill! Thanks.
There is something about a local carnival that beats the standard amusement park. You’ve captured this so brilliantly!
Very true Dale! Thanks so much.
🙂
You’ve brought excitement and inspiration to get out have fun with the ultimate prize: home again. A wonderful day!
Thank you, it’s always one of the highlights of my year!
