The inflatable toys were all smiling. Happy toys were the secret of a carnival: keep a kid happy and you keep the parents happy (except when pestered to buy the toy).

A couple of game booths were shaded and not very popular in the middle of the afternoon. The nearest booth allowed people to roll balls up a ramp to score points. The further booth allowed people to throw darts at balloons to win prizes.

A game where you tossed a ring over a ball. The attendant would pick up the ball, read its bottom, and announce what you won. This was one of the few popular games.
