Come to the fair…come to the fair…I hear a calling of... Come to the fair…The music is sweet and the air is fresh from the harvest that once was summer. The ribbons flow in pastel color. The music keeps playing soft and sweet though the joys of the day fade to dusk… I listen for the music as I gaze to the night sky.
