Usually the Gilmer, TX Yamboree is one of the highlights of the year for my family and me. This year, there were enough good parts to make the trip worth-while, but I was disappointed. I guess for me one of the main disappointments was that NONE of the close friends I wanted to see were still there. In fact, Crabtree Amusements was only providing about half of the midway. Both of the shows that were there had some wonderful employees. That lady at the duck pond was one of my favorites. -- I can't wait to go back in 2010 and see how well they make up for the problems of 2009.

I saw a few rides that looked like they had come from the 60's. More dirty looking than rusty. A friend of mine said that the "hammer" (that is what we used to call it) was only working at half capacity and I saw a man at the fun house that looked more like a homeless man. I also saw some of the bumber cars that did not work. Well, if they did not work, take them off the floor and make more room for the other cars to run around in. That friend of mine who was upset about the hammer is a DJ for a radio station in Arkansas. He brought his whole family down just for the Yamboree. I was listening to his show on Monday the 19th (on the internet) and he stated on the air what he saw and then said "Thank You" to those events in Arkansas that have rides like these. Stating this would never happen with them. On a positive side, there was a black lady working the ducks in the "chance" area and she was real sweet and super great with my kids. After all the other things I saw, it was refreshing to have come across her. I was hesitant to purchase any tickets for my kids, but finally did in the kiddy section. My teenage daughter would not get on any of them. She said they did not look trustworthy to her. That within itself says a lot. Especially when my daughter is a thrill seeker. I doubt we will be back for many years, but in the mean time, maybe these will get better before we return or before the next carnival booking.
