Darke County Fair
A Final Note
that’s Unspeakable
By Bob Robinson
No discussion of the Darke County Fair would be complete without a
final note about something (someone) that’s unspeakable.
He calls himself the UNSPEAKABLE Mime. Or at least someone does. I’ve
never heard him speak his name.
I’ve never heard him speak.
Each year at the fair he pops up as something else… historically “he”
has been a bland gray, but he has also added a little color for flavor
on occasion. He’s been a businessman, farmer, soldier and a few other
things that I’m not sure I could correctly identify… so I won’t try.
He is absolutely hilarious. One little girl, this year, was giggling so
hard she was beside herself. I was busy getting shots of his
interaction with those around him, but Lyn and Al Bliss were also there
and Lyn got probably one of the most precious shots of the year.
She graces this article as its lead photo.
Photo Set 1 is this year’s offering. Photo set 2 is a series of shots
from the past. They are offered to you with thanks to the UNSPEAKABLE
Mime for the UNSPEAKABLE enjoyment and UNFORGETTABLE memories he has
provided to fairgoers over the years.
