This book brings back many happy memories of going to the Danbury Fair every year. However even though the attendance kept increasing every year, the owner passed away, & unfortunately the people who took over control of the Danbury Fair decided it was better to sell the property & accepted a developer’s offer to purchase the property & erect a shopping mall on that site. How sad that the love of 💰 had to replace the joy & merriment 🎡 families shared every year at the Great Danbury Fair ! 😢
Eleven day turnaround. Arrived in sturdy container/box. Mint condition book - just as promised. Great price. Published in 2015. Niche topic. Didn't know it existed. Next step? Will explore other titles available. Recommend!
Very informative. Book was in perfect condition. Easy read. Brought back such great memories from my childhood. Quotes from folks memories of either working there or attending was a great addition.
