Food Fair

What my fair means to my community was the question, but the answer I concluded was most intriguing. For some the fair is something to come and connect with old friends, colleagues or relatives perhaps. For others the fair is to bring their animals to compete, or see who has the best showmanship and the best quality of animal. For the other individuals of the community they come to our fair because they want to take part in showing their business or vending. That is one of the great parts of our fair because usually the products are handmade and unique to their own kind. For some they come for the art, the music, the rides, the food and the list goes on. Overall the most meaningful about my fair is that the community not only comes together,

During this activity, the students will look through a recipe book, which I will provide. They will chose a recipe and prepare it. For example, if they chose to do a fruit salad they will chose four different fruits let an adult cut them up and put them into a bowl.

The Chicago World Fair was an extraordinary attraction during the contrasting Gilded Age as innovations were constantly forming and shifting the world into a new age of technology. Celebrating Columbus's discovery of America, millions of people and many familiar faces such as Helen Keller, Jane Addams, Thomas Edison and etc., came together in the “White City” to witness a dream-like fantasy. Furthermore, the fair was an impactful influence that was formed by the architect, Daniel Burnham, and created a proud unification within the country. However, the fair was also the making of one of the first serial killers in America, H.H Holmes. Holmes trapped people inside his “hotel” and committed murder to an estimated count of 200 people. The unimaginable

There are a few sights and sounds that an individual will experience at the Fair. When he or she first arrive, they will see the rides with their bright, colorful lights flashing and hear the rides creak and whiz by as they are walking through the gate. A person can hear the excitement in the screaming, laughter, and the crying little boy who is upset because he could not knock the milk bottles over. As he or she are walking, they can see a large crowd and while they are passing through, they can catch snippets of each conversation

The Colorado River Fair, as part of the network of California fairs, provides an enormous return on investment both economically and socially. Fairs celebrate the town’s history and heritage. They are an educational opportunity for youth and provide wholesome entertainment for families. Four-H and FFA programs support California’s vibrant agriculture sector. Community members of all ages enter their artwork, baked goods, photography and other homemade products in pursuit of coveted blue ribbons. Many non-profit and charity-based organizations participate in activities at the fair.

2. "Too many features of the fair remained unfinished, Burnham acknowledged. He and his brigade of architects, draftsmen, engineers, and contractors had accomplished so much in an impossibly short time, but apparently not enough to overcome the damping effect of the fast-degrading economy." (Page 240). The fair had a set opening day but somehow everything was still not completely finished. It was a huge feat and even what they did accomplish was amazing, but it doesn’t make sense to open to an unfinished fair. The poor economy certainly doesn't help matters, but people wouldn’t necessarily want to spend money at a

Since its establishment in 1886, “the State Fair of Texas has celebrated all things Texan by promoting agriculture, education, and community involvement through quality entertainment in a family-friendly environment.” (“2016 Guide” 6). The Texas State Fair is a staple of Texas tradition and even became a historical landmark in 1986. The fair is known for its signature 55ft figurehead Big Tex. He greets his guests with a signature “howdy y’all” while sporting some of the fair’s sponsors like Dickies and Chevrolet. The fair seeks to embody the spirit and uniqueness of Texas. It does this by celebrating its four core values of tradition, agriculture, education and community. The fair serves as a non-profit organization that strives to educate and raise money for each of these standards.

The fair had several palaces and buildings home to things unlike anything you have ever seen. These palaces have incredible detail put into them to showcase what each palace meant. From the Palace of Forestry to the Palace of Electricity. Each palace has a thing that represents there country in each palace or building in the fair. Like the French art in the Liberal Arts Building to the wood from various parts of the USA. Several artifacts from all over the world are even showcased in various buildings or palaces. Like china desert services that Queen Victoria used and the Mosco Vase that was owned by the Pope.

The State Fair, for many years, has brought together people from statewide, even nationwide. Coming from Texas, I have been a part of the tradition of extravagant state fairs since I was as child, and have had the pleasure of meeting people from all over the nation. State fairs have many attractions that convey the beauty and culture of the state in events and contests which show the production of agriculture and, in the twentieth century, industrial gains. The fairs typically consist of things such as carnivals, which have numerous rides like we see in the film, State Fair, and contests that promote a culture of domesticity. The film, State Fair, is a perfect example which explains the importance of the state fair, but also American society and culture. Furthermore, State Fair being filmed after World War II truly captures the happiness of postwar America, as well as the importance of family life as the shadow of the Cold War looms.

However, this is not essential to its purpose. It was compiled to provide visitors with something to look back at and remember the fair, and also as an introduction to the fair for those who could not attend in person. In the forward, Dawes reflected that when the exposition comes to a close, the buildings and physical content of the fair would be gone: "After that the Exposition must live in the memories of men. Such views as these, carrying the color and the atmosphere of the Exposition will serve not only to stimulate memory but to keep it close to the realities of our Exposition."

When talking to individuals about healthy eating often times they say they do not know the proper foods to prepare or how to prepare them to maintain their nutritional value. Offering cooking demonstrations would offer a hands on approach to the issue. We also make sure we are teaching about foods that are affordable and easily accessible in the area.

There were tons of food stands from about 12 different countries, ranging from countries in South and Central America. The main food stands that stood out the most were definitely El, Salvador, Mexico, and Brazilian food for their unique taste. I had the opportunity to try all types of delicious food that I've never seen in my life as well as watch the food be prepared. I did talk to the people that were cooking the different foods and learned a few traditional recipes that I could use when I learn how to cook. The connection that all these people had to the food was astounding because you could see how traditional everything was. Everyone was focused and dedicated to providing the best food they can, so that they can fully represent the countries food.
