Barrington Fair Grounds 1-7-2013
Underneath the grandstand roof, the dim shadows opened up into an old concession concourse. Decades ago, this counter served cold drinks and race-day food to busy weekend crowds, but now only dust, peeling paint, and broken safety glass remain scattered across the worn wooden floorboards.
The red vintage Coca-Cola cooler immediately caught my eye, providing a sharp punch of classic color against the faded timber walls and gray overhead steel roof trusses. Natural daylight cuts across the dusty service counter and beverage taps, highlighting the grimy textures in this quiet service hallway. It makes for an interesting look into a forgotten piece of local fair history.
