Purses at a Carnival.
Tomorrow I'm going to my town's annual carnival. Usually I don't bring a purse, or I leave it in the car, but for personal reasons I'll need to take it with me, & I won't have time to walk to the car every time I need it.
So, any advice on what to do with your purse when you get on a ride? I'd take it on with me, but wouldn't it just fly off the ride or something? Also, I know some ride operators that will hold your things for you, but I'm really untrusting about things like that, & pretty much anyone could just walk up & take it when the operator is distracted. Any advice?

I'm assuming you're probably going with friends? Maybe if you go on a ride & your friends aren't interested in going on that ride, they can hold your purse while you're on the ride.
If you don't wanna do that, just carry the stuff in your pocket.

I have a few suggestions.
Is the carnival at night time? It's usually a little chilly at night, so you could wear a jacket with zip pockets and put what you need in them (not to be embarrassing, but I assume you're on your period or something?)
If the jacket idea doesn't work, do you have one of those small draw string backpacks... like those nike bags and stuff. I went to Disney World my senior year & kept a water bottle, sunscreen, and tampons in it while walking around the park.. you know, one of those just in case scenarios. I closed it and put it on my back while walking around & kept it on my back during the ride - very convenient to have, better than a purse for that reason (or even just a small back back should be okay.
If you really do need a purse, make sure it's closed when you're on the ride and put one arm through the shoulder strap and hold on to whatever bar thingy they might have that way the purse can't fall of the ride or anything... it may move a little, but you're basically holding onto it... as long as you're not one of those people who throws their arms in the air during rides - then I have no suggestion for you with that.
When I was younger I had a purse where the shoulder strap part was actually a clip thing.. I used to be able to unstrap it, clip it to my bookbag, beltloop, etc... I bet you could find a cheap one of those... I'd always take it with me to amusement parks because then I could snap it onto the ride & it'd be fine.

If you don't have too much stuff to carry, you might be able to get away with carrying the stuff in your pockets. Wear something with zip up pockets so that your stuff won't fall out.
Otherwise, use a small backpack to carry your stuff and wear that onto the ride. It helps if you can conceal it with a jacket, because ride operators are not supposed to let you take stuff onto the ride.
