There are too many shows to go to and not enough time. The fairs in New Hampshire, Maine, and Massachusetts are now in full swing.
The Fryeburg Fair is still going on, and the Topsfield Fair is just getting started. The Granite State and Deerfield Fairs just ended.
The Big E in western Massachusetts is the biggest fair in the area, and this year it had more people than ever before. Fairs are fun for everyone.
That brings me to my next question. What happens to all the things that people lose at the fair?
Every year, thousands of articles are lost, mostly at the Big E, which has the most visitors in New England. Most likely, the people who lost their things won’t notice until they get home or to their car.
Going backwards can help you figure out where you lost something, but it’s likely that you lost it at the fair.
What are the things that people most often lose at the fair? You can expect a lot of them, but some of them are just plain weird.
Cards are the thing that people lose the most. When people are in a hurry to pay for something, they might drop the card or put it in a pocket where it can fall out.
They shred credit cards, so if you lose one at the fair, just cancel it and order a new one.
Your ID will be mailed back to you if you lose it.
There are a lot of glasses for sale, including prescription and reading glasses. You can take yours at any time.
It’s easy to lose your phone, so look in the lost and found before you spend a lot of money on a new one.
It’s so easy to lose those little ears. The cleanup crew finds the AirPods in cases sometimes and empty cases other times. Either way, they are expensive items in the lost and found.
Car keys and wallets two more losers when it comes to things people lose. Chances are good that if you lost your car keys, they are in the lost and found pile, which is pretty big.
Baby bottles, kids’ shoes, dentures, invisible braces, backpacks, jewellery, fair gifts, stuffed animals, things bought at the fair, watches, canes, pills, jackets, and more backpacks.
People who lost something at a neighbourhood fair should call them because they might be able to help you find it.
