All The Fun of the Fair | Verity E. Milligan

Sometime in May the fair rolled into my home town of Corby. As a teenager, whenever the fair would arrive, it would carry an almost mythical status, and we would flock to it the blinking, flashing neon and thumping music like moths to a flame. Mostly a place for enjoyment, we’d lose at shooting games and take home goldfish (one of which lived for a staggering 15 years). It was also laced with danger; fights, scuffles and stolen kisses. I’ve always been intrigued by the people who ran the fair, traveling from town to town. I love the juxtaposition of their boredom compared to the fun experienced by their patrons. As children joyfully scream with excitement, whizzing round in on the rides, the ride operator looks off into the middle distance or plays on their phone, unaffected by the frivolity…….
