Earnings from Simple Bangladeshi Fair


A fair is a big gathering of people held occasionally in some open or indoor places in a town or beside a village. In the fair various local, national & international products are displayed for sale. There the artisans find a proper market. Potters, toy-makers, weavers, shopkeepers & many others look forward to a very brisk business when a fair is on. Artisans & businessmen of far & wide also assemble there with their wares & open stalls. People eagerly wait for the particular day of the fair. A fair is generally held once or twice a year. It lasts a couple of days, for a week or for a month. People of all ages gather at a fair. The young & the old, the rich & the poor, the saints & children come to the fair. A fair is a kind of exhibition of rural & urban arts or crafts such as toys, dolls, balloons, ribbons, cloths & garments, wooden utensils, ceramic, plastic & earthen pots, house hold-goods, bags, baskets, etc. Local sweetmeats of many types are placed for sale. Mini restaurants are available there. Children buy toys & fancy goods, young girls buy various kinds of cosmetics. Sweetmeats are the common purchase of the visitors. A fair is a source of recreation & earnings to the people. It has a great importance in our life. It encourages local arts, industry & agriculture & related people can earn significant money temporarily from it.
