Re: OT: 'Fairs' (was Encouraging Children)

Hi Colleen,
   
  There are called 'fairs' at least in New England where I live. We have many in Northern New England that certainly couldn't be called 'giant' agricultural exhibitions but there are plenty of the big ones as well - notably the Eastern States Exposition in West Springfield, MA. But there are stock exhibitions at most fairs although the small country fairs are big on 4-H showing of sheep, goats and cows that the youngsters have raised. My sister shows here American Cream draft horses at several fairs in New York State and Vermont. I only show some of my knitting or flower arrangments.

  PS do you have Field Days in the USA? they are giant annual agricultural
exhibits over 2-4 days, no competitions of stock etc, really just big trade
shows of all things rural, from clothing to harvesters, What are they called
in the US?
