Each year, on the second Saturday of May, World Fair Trade Day is celebrated. The main organizer of events is the International Fair Trade Association (IFAT), in which 256 fair trade organizations from 60 countries all across the world participate. These are mainly (65%) in the particularly disadvantaged countries of the southern hemisphere. The organization’s mission is to promote the trade “based on dialogue, transparency and respect, that seeks greater equity.” The participants, as they state on their website, strive for the following things:
- Creating opportunities for economically disadvantaged producers
- transparency and accountability
- Capacity building
- Payment of a fair price
- Gender equity
- Improved Working conditions
- The environment
World Fair Trade Day was first celebrated in 2005. It developed from the European Worldshop Day that began in 1996 and is still organized.
The year 2005 (May 14) chosen theme Fair Trade is Peace reminds us of the role that development and the equity trade can play in the peace efforts. The attention is centered on a wide range of Fair Trade products, like coffee, tea, jewelery, clothes and handicrafts.
In 2006, World Fair Trade Day was on May 13, and the year’s theme focused on the unique role of Fair Trade Organizations.
The 2007 World Fair Trade Day will take place on May 12.

The Cumberland Fair is an annual farmer’s fair held in Cumberland, Maine at the Cumberland Fairgrounds. It is put on by the Cumberland Farmers’ Club and is usually held the last week in September.
History
The very first Cumberland Fair was held for two days on October 10th and 11th, 1868 in the center of town in back of what is now Greely Junior High School. The land was provided by Capt. Enos Blanchard. On show were foods, handicrafts, vegetables of all shapes and sizes and also steers, especially in the traditional ox-pull. Horse racing was also featured.

In baseball, a fair ball is a batted ball that has not yet become a foul ball, and that…
- settles on fair ground between home and first base, or between home and third base, or
- is on or over fair territory when bounding past first or third base, or
- touches first, second, or third base, or
- touches the person of an umpire or player while the ball is on or over fair ground (but a batted ball touching the batter in the batter’s box, or bouncing off the ground and immediately hitting the bat is foul even if the contact is over fair territory), or
- passes out of the playing field in flight while over fair ground, or
- touches any part of the foul pole, including an attached screen, in flight.
It is possible for a ball moving in foul territory to become a fair ball. Batted balls can also be foul balls or foul tips.
On a fair ball, the ball is alive; runners attempt to advance and fielders try to record outs. A batted ball is presumed to be fair until it is ruled a foul ball or a foul tip.
The Donnybrook Fair, also known as the Walsh Fair is an annual 2 day event in the community of Walsh in Norfolk County, Canada. The fair has been held every year from 1857 until the present, making 2007 the 150th Fair. This mid-September event involves the children of Walsh Public School and St. Michael’s School entering projects and many agricultural commodities, grown locally, for prize money and ribbons. Over $1200 was paid to the elementary children in 2006.
The fair has grown every year with the help of many volunteers. Fundraising events are held all year to finance the Fair. These events include an annual barbequeue dance, a Victoria Day brunch, food booths at every “Friday the 13th” event in Port Dover, and numerous raffles.
The most popular event at each fair is the Demolition Derby. These were sponsored for a long time by The Horsepower Unlimited Car Club from Simcoe but are now sponsored by the Vittoria & St. Williams Fire Department Auxiliaries. 2007 is the 34th consecutive year of Demolition Derbys.
Throughout the year, the fairgrounds & the Community Centre Hall are frequently used for weddings, funerals, and Buck and Doe events.
The name “Donnybrook Fair” comes from an early settler of Walsh, who said the Fair reminded him of an annual horse fair in Donnybrook, Dublin.

The Glasgow Fair is a holiday during the last fortnight in July in the city of Glasgow, Scotland. ‘The Fair’ is the oldest of a number of similar holidays, dating from the 12th century. The name derives from the actual fair staged on Glasgow Green during the period, full of keeks, menageries, freak shows, waxworks and whisky booths. Until as recently as the 1960s, most local businesses and factories would close on ‘Fair Friday’ and workers and their families would crowd railway stations, such as St Enoch’s, and the steamer terminals on their way to holiday destinations, often only 20 miles away on the Firth of Clyde.
Nowadays, fewer local businesses close down for the Fair but Glasgow City Council has attempted to re-introduce the fair on the Green, albeit with more modern attractions.

There have been two World’s Fairs in New York City:
- 1939 New York World’s Fair (1939-1940) at Flushing Meadows in Queens gave us Futurama, the Trylon, and Perisphere.
Seen by its organizers as an antidote to the despair of The Great Depression by projecting a future of hope, the Fair emphasized international cooperation and the impact of technology on the world of the future.
At the time the Fair was a cultural phenomenon which attracted 45 million visitors in its two years of operation. After its first summer, when projected sales were lower than hoped, ticket prices were reduced significantly and the Fair’s often heavy-handed themes were changed. After the second year, however, total visitors were 5 million less than anticipated and the Fair’s corporation subsequently declared bankruptcy.
David Gelernter has written a fictionalized account of the fair—1939: The Lost World of the Fair (ISBN 0-380-72748-X).
- 1964 New York World’s Fair (1964–1965), also at Flushing Meadows, Queens. One of its more memorable structures was the Unisphere.
The site became a park and home to New York’s Shea Stadium where the New York Mets play.
