So much fun. I still remember the gypsy woman in a tent looking at a glass globe, and reading my fortune. I remember the fishing poles, and someone tugging on my line from behind a partition after they attached a cheap toy. I always looked forward to the school fall festival.

I don't remember if the chairs were numbered, or if the teacher drew a number. Either way, the lucky person got a whole cake! Lots of fun.
