It&#8217;s the talk of the town and everybody who&#8217;s anybody goes.\u00a0 Schools take field trips there to learn about the animals and old-timey life. Adults go there in the evenings for late-night shenanigans, or something. Everyone talks about The Tunbridge World&#8217;s Fair as the greatest thing on Earth. After living in this area for so many years, we decided this year was the year we were going to experience this amazing event.\u00a0 Guess what?\u00a0 It&#8217;s much like any other fair. :) :)\u00a0 A bit bigger than the <a href=\"https:\/\/familyblog.datdec.com\/?p=13804\">Cornish Fair<\/a>, about the same size as the Delaware County Fair, plus some <a href=\"https:\/\/www.hanfordmills.org\/\">Hannaford Mills<\/a> old-fashioned activities and displays.\u00a0 Same rides, same funnel cake and french fries, same games, same crowds.\u00a0 We had fun.
