Not enough to do at the Finchwick Fair
My sim went to the Finchwick Fair at the beginning of the day and entered their chicken in the contest. They chatted a little with the chicken, bought some stuff at the garden stall and met a new sim....

Agree that the 'fair' is lacking, too small and too little to do, which goes back to the game itself being limited in what sims can do anywhere. Based on the last time I went to a fair about 5 years ago there should be:
Lots of sims to interact with. Fairs are a big deal so draw lots of folks from all over.
Several more contests, each with many entrants - use townies if need be. Our sims should be able to wander around, view the entries, and maybe vote
Entertainers to watch - singers, dancers, musicians, magicians, acrobats, storytellers
Outdoor games, including the sporting kind
A wide variety of food stalls to visit for either a meal, dessert, or sampling. This already happens in the Spice Festival. Also, items to buy and take home.
A multitude of vendors selling mostly small things, usually hand-made, the sort of things you seldom see in stores. Also book and art vendors, often selling their own work.
Lots of animals on display to look at, learn about, and to some degree interact with.
Races, whether of sims or animals. The fair I went to even had turtle races.
Demonstrations - whether of how to make and do things or how farm animals work. An extreme case - a hitch of 8 Clydesdales pulling a heavily loaded wagon at full speed. The ground shook!
A fair should be a major event, but the one in the game is very ho-hum. Even the festivals in CL draw bigger crowds and have more going on.
