Original Title: Barker ad the Green County fair in Greensboro, Georgia
Location: Greensboro, GA
There was once a time that in the local county fair, they would race monkey's. Living breathing simians.
They made little cars for them, made them wear outfits, but like the real thing they wore no helmets, despite what the sign suggests. They would place a row of these monkey's on a track and let go. Its a downhill only track, and sort of like Pine Wood derby, these cars would roll down these tracks.
If your thinking of making your own monkey race, be warned that they are rather messy. They stink and tend to bite. Finding fitting clothes might be a chore as well.
