Thrift Fair
Ways in which the Thrift Fair is like the county fair: 1) Both places have mysterious smells. 2) There is an abundance of light-wash jeans. 3) Children run around willy-nilly. 4) When you leave, your hands feel dirty. 5) Latch-hook wall hangings for sale are very similar to things I submitted to 4-H exhibitions in elementary school. Ways in which the Thrift Fair is not like the county fair: 1) The Thrift Fair has no rides. But hey: that also means less vomit! 2) If you find funnel cake at the Thrift Fair, lord help you. 3) Having the largest zucchini in the tri-state area will not make you popular at the Thrift Fair. 4) At the county fair, you can win stuffed animals. At the Thrift Fair, you can buy the county-fair stuffed animals that people got rid of when they realized the prizes were crap. 5) It’s not an amazing thrift store, but the Thrift Fair does occasionally have some very good finds.
