The day of the Fair was anticipated for months
and worked towards all year. Not
simply because of the activities and contests, but because folks were
reunited
with friends and became a part of the community again. Life in the country
or on
the farm made folks more unique and independent. The challenge of survival
encouraged stronger family units, and gave one a sense of being "in place."
Each
individual depended on the other to do their part and be who they should
be. One
gained a great sense of accomplishment by working the land, but also a
powerful
thirst for seeing other folks whenever there was a reason. Put all this together
and
see the excitement on the "Day Of The Fair."
