It's Nascar weekend at nearby Dover Downs. I'm always amazed at the city that springs to life for Nascar events. The surrounding fairgrounds, empty for much of the year, fill with campers of all types.
Pickup trucks with aluminum homes that drop into the bed, trailers that transform into tents on wheels, and forty foot long mobile castles begin to converge on Dover Downs as much as a full week in advance of the big event.
The transformation reminds me of the magic of a circus. Only circus magic occurs overnight rather than over a week. One day there's an open field, the next a community of tents, wagons, entertainers, animals and more.
Personally, I'll take the circus over race cars any day - but to each his own.
