Paragraph On My Visit to a Village Fair
A village fair is an annual affair in Bangladesh. It is a part and parcel of our Bangalee culture. It is a large gathering place for all ages and callings. A few months ago, I visited a fair in my village Sonapur in Noakhali. The fair was held on the occasion of the first Baishakh. It was held on the bank of a canal. During the fair, I was in my village as my madrasah was closed due to summer vacation. The fairground was not so far from our home. So I went there on foot. Some of my friends accompanied me. We reached there at about 4:00 pm. At the fair, people of different professions brought our handmade articles for sale. The shopkeepers sitting in rows displayed their articles in an attractive atmosphere. Clothes, toys, cheap ornaments, cosmetics, fancy goods, utensils, bamboo-made articles, sweetmeats, and many other attractive things were placed there. Jatra, circus, doll dance, magic show, etc. were the chief attractions of the fair. But the dolldance and the potteries attracted me the most. I roamed about the whole fair with my friends for about three hours. I bought some handmade articles and pottery. In the evening, we started at home with a pleasant mind. In fact, the day was very enjoyable and interesting to me.
