Well.. this was something to see for sure. For Turnhout’s Kermis (carnival) all of the trucks enter the square at the same time.. 70 of them. As you can image.. mass chaos soon arrives as some trucks are backing into their spots, some are entering the area, some have jack-knifed their two trailers, some are trying to find a place for their caravan and others are setting up .. all at the same time. I have no idea how someone was not run over or how there were not any collisions..
As you would expect… Dixieland is the music of choice tonight…
Crowd gathering to watch the chaos unfold. Thanks to Thomas’s father we were able to get a nice balcony view at the town hall.
and here it goes! There are 5 entry streets leading into the market square…
okay.. this seems manageable so far…
getting slightly more crowded…
approx. 2 minutes have elapsed here and there are already trucks unhooking…
and now it starts to get fun!
looks like a nice place to camp out..
the play city truck jack knifed and got stuck in that position for quite a while..
sure.. plenty of room left…
This was a massive setup.. keep scrolling to see more of this rig…
Thomas chickened out of going up to the tower/lightning rod platform on the roof.. but had some fun shots from here..
Christine (Thomas’s Mother) is the only Nys brave enough to trek to the top…
now some of the big ones start opening up…
and some of the really big ones…
I can’t even image how expensive this rig is… it was entirely hydraulic. I am pretty sure it’s not a cheap attraction at the fair…
Plenty of room for some more…
The lightning rod view offered some nice shots…
