Fairs

Ever since I've been little, and years and years before that, my town has sponsored a fair that occurs for three days in the summertime.  When I was younger, it was the coolest thing, with lots of rides, games, junk food, animals you could pet, and tons of vendors trying to sell things everywhere.  I used to get really excited about the sand art booth, where you could fill up this plastic bear with different colors of "sand" ( I don't know if it was real sand or not).  However, seeing the fair from the perspective of someone my age, it seems a lot smaller than it used to be.  The rides make me nauseous, which isn't new considering I used to ride myself sick when I was little.  The vendors are old and have junk that no one wants to buy.  The food is still amazing though.  I especially like the cheese fries.  The animals are cute, even though there are huge signs everywhere that read "We bite."  ( I pet them anyway)  Today, the goats had no antlers...or ears!!  I was very sad, but there were really cute baby pigs to make up for it (are they actually called piglets?).  I have to come to realize that the fair is designed mostly with kids in mind, and adults are just onlookers.
