Why go to craft shows?

Posted by SharonEvans on February 28th, 2015

Spending a day out with your family or friends is something that should occur regularly. By enjoying the same activities, you will manage to create a stronger bond and improve family relationships or friendships. And where can you enjoy this better, if not at a country show?

Country fairs are events that gather vendors of all sorts and people passionate about traditions and handmade items. Usually, people go to such fairs because they can purchase various products for themselves or for their loved ones.

Craft shows are very appreciated by locals and tourists alike, since they allow visitors to get a sense of the traditions present in a certain location. At such shows, visitors can discover anything from handmade jewellery to pottery and from painted eggs to unique clothing.

But at country fairs, visitors can find something else, too, besides craft shows; they can discover a wide variety of plants and, thus, learn more about them, and also domestic animals that can be bought either for their meat, or as a companion.

Speaking of the animals present at country shows, the most courageous ones can do more than just to admire the animals from a distance. For example, in the case of horses or ponies, adults and children alike can benefit from a riding session.

A country fair that provides their visitors with the possibility of riding a horse or pony allows them to do this in a specially arranged location and only under the supervision of a professional instructor. In fact, every entertainment at a country fair is designed to be safe and fun.

Some fairs even offer their visitors the chance of discovering wild animals brought to the fair by public or private zoos. Just as in the previous case where horses or ponies could be ridden only in a specially arranged location, so wild animals are available to be seen and admired only in a safe environment.

A visit to a craft show could last for more than several hours. But visitors should not worry, because they can visit the show for an entire day, without thinking of food. This, because food manufacturers and artists can also be present at a country fair.

And what is very important to mention here is that all the food brought by them to the fair is organic and usually comes from their own farms. Moreover, people do not have to buy food items just like they do in a supermarket, meaning without tasting them first, but only after taking a small sample to see if they really like what they are buying.

Music is another reason why people should go to a craft fair. Local artists can be commissioned for an event like this or, at least, traditional music can be heard from a music player. For more fun, at some craft fairs, visitors can even sing karaoke.

But not only adults can have the time of their lives at a country fair; children, too, can enjoy a lot of indoor and outdoor activities. They can immerse in colourful ball pools, search for their friends in some inflatable castles, bounce and jump, listen to fairytales told by real actors, or showcase their fishing skills by catching plastic ducks.
