Happy 80th North Miami!

What does a respectable city do to celebrate its 80th Anniversary?

If you said "Have a creepy carnival," then you should win a Chinese manufactured plush toy and an Elephant ear. I could only stand to be there for so long (plus I had places to go) So, here is the digital documentation I have (I shot a little film too I'll try to post that later).
