You would probably have your fairs and festivals set somewhere in an open field, inside a mall, in the town square or anywhere close to civilization, right?
One town decides to have a beach fair though, just for the heck of it. Which is really a good idea because people are seemingly more and more sad with what's happening with the economy and all the recession.
The event was marked off with a pre-morning ice swim. Everyone was shivering hard after. I'd reckon anyone would, the water really was freezing. But well, with this and that; the whole lot was more energetic thereafter. People said that the cold water also improves your memory. I guess there was an advantage then, even if the side effect would be a small cold after.
There was a grill party come noon, when everyone decided to just lounge around in the sun to warm themselves up and gain a nice, healthy tan. The air smelled of fish, meat, and lemon-spiced vegetables; courtesy of the townsmen. Well, officially, I was just an outsider and I did not contribute to the whole affair, so it pretty much was just a sit in for me and I had settled to just eating my packed lunch.
Afternoon was when the place was suddenly filled with booths. The other people began selling beach accessories, towels, and some light snacks. I had chosen to buy one, a small bracelet for my gran-gran. It had pretty shells in it. I know she'll adore it.
That night (the people were quite adamant to go through with the festival), everyone slowly settled down and simply relaxed, having a star gazing event because the stars weren't really visible when in the city. We were surprised when there was a fireworks festival thereafter. I guess the town had a bit of something to squeeze in with the meager budget.
Perhaps there would be another one next year.
