Fair Adventures

Probably the most interesting part of the fair was that it was authentic, but it wasn't. There were people dressed authentically from the tip of their battle axe to their ancient boots, but there were gas tanks and electrical wires sticking out everywhere. In other words, the costumes and sales products were authentic, but the surroundings were not. I think that the tents should have been done away with, and that they should have made a more village-like environment. But a budget is a budget, and I guess they didn't have a large one. I also think that some actors were being too authentic, for example, there was one lady with her pregnant belly showing, which although might be authentic, (highly unlikely) it was unnecessary.
The drinks sold made me mad, because it was 1 dollar for a 12 fluid ounce can and 2 dollars for 20 fluid ounces, which defies all marketing techniques, except for the fact that they didn't have any 12 ounce cans left, so they gypped me 33 1/3 cents for my Sprite.
But other than poorly planned marketing techniques, I thought the fair was fun.
