Sakon City Fair and Noisy

Alcohol and smoking Free Zone

According to RYT9 news this is the fifth year that no alcohol is allowed at the Red Cross Fair.

The fair used to be a lot more 'sociable' when one could sip a drink and watch the world go by.

Alcohol only seemed to be a problem during teen targeted concerts

There is an exception to the rule: Wine

I prefer purchases from local vendors who warrant their products
rather than a traveling vendor

There are some products at the fair, worth a second look.
I suggest making major purchases during the last days, even the day after the fair.
At the closing of the fair vendors are willing to cut prices. Saves on repacking and reshipping expenses.

In 2003 I bought 5 sets of curtains the day after the fair as they were packing up unsold products. A 50% savings.
Of course there are some items you are better off buying before someone else grabs them.

Two reasons I expect to make another trip to the fair:

The army rifle range

(BB guns). Been target shooting every year there. This year it will be interesting. I now have slight cataract in one eye

Solar panel and pedal operated generator dispaly

Chinese New Year celebrations are underway.

Expect sporadic fireworks
Fireworks began this morning. My neighbor's cat family of nearly a dozen have gone into seclusion.
So that's how I'm gonna tackle the cat invasion.

Protect your pets provide enclosed shelters
during periods of 'heavy artillery like' fireworks
