Who doesn’t love the hustle and bustle of a busy market with games and smells wafting over from the food stalls? On October 14, 2017, SAS hosted this year’s International Fair. There were countless booths with various mini games to raise money for the different school clubs; many global delicacies were available to satisfy everybody’s appetite; and music came from the stage the whole day for everybody’s entertainment. Even the weather decided to play it’s part in making this day a tremendous, with only the occasional drizzle throughout the day.
The elementary school playground had its grand opening. The Jacaranda club ran their booth there, allowing children to play under the club members’ supervision, so that parents could enjoy the fair at their own leisure. "The new playground feels very adventurous," said fifth grader Brandon Ma. "There’s a new trampoline where people can do backflips, an obstacle course, and a huge climbing tower."
The cafeterias were jam-packed with masses of people, feasting on global delicacies, representing countries such as Japan, Korea, India, Canada, the Philippines, Germany, and Holland, among many others. The Taiwanese food stall was busy the whole day - even up to the end of the day. Everyone just couldn’t get enough of the Bubble Milk Tea, and other various drinks. However, restaurants and stores were also selling their food too. There was Jonas Emil Coffee, selling coffee, dried fruits, and roasted nuts. At the start of the day, sales were low, as they couldn’t accept tickets, but towards the end, people were crowding around their little table to buy their homemade dried strawberries and dried figs, among many others.
Outside, the grills were cooking up a storm. With a constant cloud of smoke hanging over them, grillers served up one “delicious and perfectly grilled” hamburger and hotdog after another.
Most of the clubs made tremendous profit, running their booths from 11:00am to 4:00pm. There were some very creative and entertaining games. For example, there was a rainbow nose where people had to throw balls into the top. There was also the game where people had to hand-chop apart a stack of plastic bricks stacked on top of a pile of books. This one proved extremely difficult to anyone trying their luck (and strength).
Grand prizes such as man-size teddy bears were not seen frequently, but those who won them could not wipe the smiles off their faces for the entire day. Delighted young children were bouncing around, racing from one booth to another, spending one green ticket after the other in order to win the toys they had their mind set on.
