Almost Won
Here, five cars raced toward an exciting finish. If you were that far ahead, would you stop and wait for someone else to catch up, or would you keep playing despite your lead?

From At&T Park
Here the carnival was seen from the upper deck of AT&T park (the San Francisco Giants stadium). The carnival was somewhat small and occupied only half of one of the ball park's parking lots.

Ride Tickets
Ride tickets sold in booths near the ferris wheel. A handy ATM dispensed money next to the ticket booths. The use of paper tickets was very last century.

Thirsty Dog
One contest used a water pistol attached to a hose in order to squirt water into the dog's mouth. Water caused a ball to rise along a vertical rail behind each dog. The first ball to the top won.
