I choose to attend and observe the Arizona (AZ) State Fair, which is held at Arizona State Fairgrounds from October 5 to October 28, 2018. The festival has been recurring on the Fairgrounds for more than one hundred years. However, I think this event is essential and needs to be shared with the audience because of its diversity, and so others can discover wealth and richness of people in their society, which the annual Arizona Fair is presenting. A significant point of this State Fair is to honor the past, praise the present, and think about the future.

Every year, the festival gathers over one million guests, and the celebration lasts a bit less than a month. In North America, the Arizona Fair is the third most attended one among the other 15 State Fairs. I think it is a powerful argument if there still are some doubts about visiting this event. The thirteenth Annual Arizona State Fair offers midway rides and games for any categories, such as children and adults, contests and music performances, diverse Fair food cuisines, livestock and animal attractions, shopping vendors.

To observe more than just the history of the festival, I planned to interview food vendor owners during the event. For the interview, I decided to ask not just about the food or prices, but also to explore diversity throughout the people, in my case throughout the owners. Pizza & Ranch Kettle Corn at the Timbo’s II (Jerky/Pickles/Beef Sticks) stand will impress you with the variety of food snacks and a friendly smile.

I have spent some time talking to the owners and workers, and I noticed that there is a small difference between my vision and their understanding. Although we attended the same festival, their vision is based on the information and experience that they receive before and during event. My vision, however, is based on what I have seen or heard during the fair. Moreover, the interactions that we had actually was very helpful to understand and see the Fair from a different point of view. The most outstanding fact that I learned from our interviews is that the economic impact of the previous years was incredible. A significant amount of the income from the Fair was sent for the scholarships and community assets. Which means that while having fun, we were also helping the community and doing good deeds. Some of the owners are helping with the organization of this amazing event not for the first time. They are also bringing their families and spending time with them doing shopping, buying food, and enjoying animal exhibitions. I was surprised that the job that they are doing, and at the same time, the joy that they are receiving is worth every minute there.

People around seem to be happy with the food, activities, exhibitions, and products that are presented. I was happy to be in a place like that. Volunteers and visitors, vendor owners and stuff present diversity of the state and I can even say, the whole country. Observing the stands and tasting the food are only several among the other activities that I have tried, and after spending some time here, I made my conclusion. I do know now that events like the Arizona State Fair are created to show the diversity of the communities and to discover people that surround us.
