New Zealand Fair Trade and A Global Message
An fair is a place where people come to have fun and learn about different things. For some fairs, they are very important events and are held every year or two at a specific location. Other fairs are sometimes held at local parks or community centers. For some fairs, children are always invited to participate. The activities may be horse racing, face painting, or circus. Some fairs also have a talent competition, musical acts and other fun surprises.
A fair can be a place for people of all ages and abilities. There is always something for the entire family. Some fairs are family oriented and focus on farm products while others may focus on arts and craft. The producers of the fair bring in goods that are free to trade. The buyers of these products then pay a fee to the producers for the right to purchase the fair’s products.
The producers and sellers of these goods often come together at a fair trade event. The producer is usually from the area that the fair represents. Each area has its own sales and offers to the public. Some areas have the producers of fair trade products set up in booths or even in tents. The buyers come to the fair and look at the offerings and negotiate to buy what they want to buy from the producers.
Many of the best fairs are sponsored by famous companies and brands. For example, one of the largest fairs in the world is held annually in New Zealand at the International Fairs Fair. The fair takes place for three days and is attended by thousands of people. Many of the major agricultural companies participate in the fair and their products are showcased at the fair. The harpercollins publishers sponsor many fairs and their products are often featured at the fairs. They sponsor not only the fair but also many other events throughout the year.
A major fair like the New Zealand fair takes place during the wet season. This is typically from mid December to March. Many agricultural products are sold at the fair including lamb, beef and pigs. If you were wondering if you could buy tickets to the fair, then the answer is yes. You can purchase tickets online and pick them up at the fair each day until the day before the event. If you missed the first day, there are many ways to still get a refund or save money on your purchase.
A major fair attracts many people and is a great place to see if you are interested in buying fair trade goods. You can make money if you know how to shop at these fairs.
