Medicine Hat Stampede Midway: Part 1

Bright lights, crowds, old cars, raffles, animals, rides, games, and the smell of deep fried dough in the air - this is the Stampede midway! I returned this year to capture a ton of pictures of Medicine Hat's Exhibition and Stampede, and had a lot of fun doing it. For the most part it was the same old midway, but I've never photographed it quite like this before. Few hometown locations scream summer as loudly as this.
