At the Fair

Posted October 25, 2023

How has your local fair changed ... and stayed the same?

Research the history of a fair in your community or region. In what ways is it the same as or different from how it was in the past? Find an archival (old) photo of the fair or draw a picture of what you think it would have looked like. Then write a short summary of how past and present compare.
