The 1st time I heard about the Parra Fair was forever ago when Azrael called me one day, saying something along the lines of:
...or something to that nature."Hey, you lazy bastard, rather than us going to the Markets next Sunday, did you wanna come with me and Burnie to this fair at Parramatta Town Hall? - We'll have to go by train, so it'll be a 4:00am start - if you can handle it, but it has heaps of stuff!..."
All I know is that it was awesome and for the next 2 or so years he & I made that journey almost every quarterly time, then once I joined up here at OTCA I learnt that it was used as a regular meeting point - I've lost count of how many I've attended now.
...so with that I've got to say, it's really sad to see that it looks like it's come to an end; typically, it's always a few who spoil it for the many.![]()
