This girl you see the picture is Viktoria Madzovski. She has
been coming to the Royal Winter Fair since she was a little girl. This is her
13th time attending the fair. She signs her name and draws a beard in
a llama, along with drawing some hearts on this wall-sized colouring page and
knows that her name is going to permanently be there, in the same place,
forever. She is among many children, teenagers and adults who have signed their
name or coloured on this wall. Some people are here to write their name for the
last time. Their reasons vary from the fact that they are moving, to things
like their lives are becoming too hectic to take time out to attend. As I spoke to others who were also signing the
wall they told me the story about how they traveled in a car for numerous hours
just to come to the fair. They were all so dedicated and lived coming. Some kids
even missed school but I promised them I wouldn’t tell and their teachers.
I went around the fair with Viktoria for the whole day as
she and I went to pet animals and I watched as she got her hand moulded with
wax (I didn’t get it done because it kind of freaked me out). Sadly, I didn’t get a picture of when she
kissed a goat, but it was very cute. Unfortunately this will be her last time
attending the fair because her family and school life are becoming too busy. Also,
she will be going away for university in the next 2 years and will be far too
busy studying to take time out and go.
The Royal Winter Fair is a great place to come to with
family and friends. The convention center is so big and there’s something for
those of all ages to do to have a great time. To all those reading this, I suggest
you go if you already haven’t and if you have, go again!
