Wade Shows workers construct the Wave Swinger ride on the Delaware State Fair midway on Wednesday. The fair opens today at 5 p.m.
Silver, a worker with the Wade Shows amusement company, readies one of the game booths for opening day. When she's not traveling, she lives in a houseboat in Florida. Ticket prices this year are the same as 2008, though there are online and advance sales deals.

OWNER OF 5-LEGGED DOG HAS EXTRA APPENDAGE REMOVED
From Today's New York Post
CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- The new owner of a five-legged puppy says the dog has undergone surgery to remove the extra appendage.
Owner Allyson Siegel told WBTV that the amputation surgery was expedited early Thursday morning in part because a Coney Island animal show owner said he was the rightful owner of the dog. John Strong told The Charlotte Observer Wednesday that he planned to file a lawsuit over the matter, saying he had an agreement to buy the dog, Lilly, from a Gastonia man.
The New York man says his show contains "amazing animals, oddities and freaks."
The dog's former owner, Calvin Owensby, sold the Chihuahua-terrier pup to Siegel, who vowed to get the extra leg amputated so the dog can walk normally.
