Roll up! Roll up! Its a Fun Fair or Show!

#26 Review a Fun Fair


Rural fairs and agricultural shows are declining to the point that most do not run any longer. Sadly this is due to our transient society, where the sense of community is not as strong as it once was and that people are now able to travel and see unusual sights, visit permenenat fun parks and are less interested now in the largest pumpkin or the heaviest cow.

If you are able to visit one of these dying pieces of history, go with a camera and fresh eyes. Note the smells and different tastes avaialable, the rides and the showside alley, the ring events and the grand parade. If you are unable to visit one - perhaps you can recall one in the recent past?

Your task is to promote the show in the local newspaper in the week coming up to it. Include a photo and under 300 words.

This prompt will be up for two weeks, instead of the usual week in order for you to do some research or visiting.
