Byfesten

It's that time of year again... < fill in the blank >-fest. Every city has one. In Watertown: Riverfest. Sonderborg: Byfesten.
I'm pretty sure there is a worldwide formula that cities purchase which summons a convoy of carnies to roll into town from their carny villages. The carnies set up their carny tent village, and people flock to throw their money at them. The interesting population of the city finally shows its face and the question is answered, "so theres the other 10,000 people that live here." It's these 10,000 helpless folks that make the entire carny system work. Steps to make the system work:
  1. Find people with children, preferably four or more children
  2. Offer cheep Chinese crap for a seemingly simple task (often of physical merit)
    2a. display one huge stuffed animal for girlfriend to see
  3. Deep fry every food item you offer
  4. Never stay in the same town for more than three days
  5. Stay away from cities with more than 25,000 people
