a fairground life

I went out to river fest to have a look this morning(8AM when picts took). At 10am there was a lot of people getting about. At 11am I left to go to our fair. The weather was great until 4pm then we got a spattering of rain. Business was slow where we are, I suppose everyone was at the river festival only a few miles away. The fair there was doing well. The people no longer come to the fair, the fair has to go to the people! Unless its a massive funfair like kirkcaldy or the town moor (Newcastle) the fair is no longer the main event strong enough to attract a large crowd, but I think it is the best extra you can have at any event.
I'm pleased to report that everything is working well.
