Photograph of the North Texas State Fair in Denton, TX. Booths and stalls with red and yellow striped tents shading them have been set up throughout a clearing, currently empty of fairgoers. In the background beyond the stalls and in foreground in between them are two separate trailers with large white signs atop them, both advertising funnel cakes, sausage, and home cooked meals with food like hamburgers and coffee. From the trailer in the foreground, two men exit from a door set in the trailer's back. Parked between two booths in the left side of the photo is a white cargo truck. Farther into photo, behind the stalls and trailers, are three amusement rides. Near the left side of the photo is a roller coaster with a single loop in its shape, while a ride with disc shaped pods at the end of wheel-like spokes sits to the roller coaster's right. Near the right edge of the photo is the third ride, a Ferris wheel. A line of tall, bushy trees sits behind all the amusement rides.
