Fairs unltd: Country Fairs - State Fairs - Harvest Festivals - Music Festivals - Etc
This photo of a twirling psychedelic ride at a country fair - Break Dance - was taken by photographer Konrad Mostert of Wuppertal, Germany.
Showcasing the Ancient Tradition of the Fair - where people gather to share in displays of farm produce and products (sometimes one product ... like blueberries!); animals and livestock; handmade products; crafts; art; and/or music. Often the farm-oriented and/or rural Fairs are set against a carnival-like backdrop of rides, games, and competitions. Fairs can be local or traveling events; they can take place on village streets or at designated fairgrounds. The one common denominator - everyone loves 'em - kids and adults alike! Long Live Country and State Fairs!

Below you'll find Merchants and Products which speak to the topic of this site and which, in keeping with our mission as The Web's Concierge, have been carefully chosen and individually screened for your shopping ease and pleasure. They are not paid ads, but rather companies with whom we have selectively chosen to partner. We do earn a referral fee if you find something you like or need and purchase it. We have striven to bring you the "best in breed" companies ... those that: we like, our friends like, have great sites and service, have good online reviews, positive consumer reports, and are family friendly. Keep us posted with regards to your own personal experiences with them.
You may be surprised at companies that have not been included. The "noisiest" in the marketplace are not always the best. We have chosen 1) newer innovative companies that are performing well and garnering respect in their respective niches as well as 2) "Main Street" companies that have been reliably getting the job done for decades ... in some cases centuries. Our oldest partner, thus far, has been in business since 1819! That's staying power.
Rest assured, if we've included a certain vendor in a site's line-up, there's a very specific reason for it. You may have to hunt and poke a bit, but it'll be well worth the effort. Enjoy the adventure!
