There really isn't any one guy doing the fairs now but back in the day when you heard Riley calling in "deep, deep stretch" you know it was the CA Fair circuit.
Like Grunder, I think after awhile they kind of grow on you...

That is before my time for sure. I would never hold a fair track to that level, guys are mostly part time, seasonal employees.
