Well, at least three quarters of the family is excited about going to the fair. There's a big fiasco inside the car as to who gets to sit beside the window. Everyone is in high spirits and it feels like nothing could go wrong. But there are a million things that could happen to break that excitement. A million things that could have been prevented if we took the time to prepare.
Of course, going to fairs or shows isn't much of a big deal. We've been doing the same thing with our parents ever since we could remember. Why should you have to prepare, right? It's just a harmless trip to the fair, right?
Well not exactly. It's with this type of thinking that we tend to make the most simple, yet stupidest of all mistakes. So here are a few reminders to get by before going to the fair.
One, bring extra clothes. Especially if there's a chance of raining. You don't have to lug it around, you could even just leave it in the car. Going home sopping wet, is a bad idea, hence the extra clothes. The same could work for a hot day too. No one wants to go home inside the car, smelling all rancid and moist. Even an extra undershirt would suffice in protecting your back from the sudden cold.
Two, avoid wearing gaudy accessories. They might get snatched, stolen or lost; especially in a tight crowd. That goes without saying that you should wear comfortable clothes. And bring a hat too. Especially if it's hot.
Three, have an itinerary. Plan your movements out and know when and where to meet. Should any of you lose each other, set out a meeting point in order to collect anyone who went missing. Always exercise common sense. Common sense isn't really common nowadays, so help yourself, by keeping yourself safe and enjoying the experience all at the same time.
