” rides are great, we had a lot of fun.”- A visitor at The Western
Fair. people were enjoying their time at the fair as it involved some kind of activities for everyone carnival rides for kids and adults, fun games for parents and food for everyone. Not only food but there were shopping stalls for seniors to browse around inside the Western district sports center.
A lot of activities for everyone to enjoy and relax. However, some individuals felt that it was expensive and wait was too long to get one ride.
“Rides are good. I enjoyed them but we had to wait a long time to get to them that’s bad. for rides we have a pass there should be a pass for games too because the games are expensive for one game for only 3 balls. if there was the pass for a game that would be good”- Kartik Balasubramanian.
