Finding yourself in Fairs

By Ian Kleine

The first answer people would get when associating festivals to something would be "family trip."

And they wouldn't be wrong. Almost half of the demography loitering around the grounds would belong to a picture-perfect family; with Dad looking all huff-puff, Mom somewhat smiling, Big Sister looking bored, and Little Brother holding his balloon with an excited twinkle in his eyes.

But fairs are for everyone, no exceptions. Be it for the filthy rich, the marginally wealthy, the struggling white-collar employee, the fleeters cutting from their jobs just to slack off, or the poor guy sleeping in the bench; everyone is welcome to the fair (unless there's an uberly expensive entrance fee, then I guess only the rich and the wealthy get to go in.)

For the single person, who wants to go back to his childhood and relive the fantasies he had of flying horses and magic and staying up late. For the lonely soul that wishes to spend the day forgetting his troubles. For the one who is contemplating what to do next with his life.

For couples, who wish to spend the day together with the ones they love. For the people who wish to be with the ones they love. For those who wish to reminisce the time spent together.

For children, who want to spend their childhood to the fullest. For those who want to experience mystery at it's best. For those who want to know what fun is all about.

For the elderly, who want to go back to being a kid. For those who want to remember and never forget the good old times. For those whose time is near, and wish to spend their days happy and without regret.

There are a lot of things to do in the fair for everyone, seriously.
