Fanfare at Raub

This must have been the strangest of times, to have a fanfare coming to town during the festive season. One came a week ago smack in the middle of the late rainy season- I was reminded of my childhood days where the circus would come once a year, many times during the rainy season and people would throng the muddy field to get to the circus. Then, there was also the fanfare like the circus. What I missed as a child was the parading of the big animals (elephants) through town to the lotus pond nearby the golf course every afternoon to bathe the animals and that was one of the most anticipated event of the year for us children...times changed, the circus don't come no more and the fanfares...look like they were stuck in time and forgot to evolve, or rather, we might have grown out of it for our own good...


People still find their inner child at the fanfare despite modernity...


The haunted house...


lights...


throw a ring to win a token...


revolving toy car


the Ferris wheel...
