I dunno..a carnival usually has rides like the ferris wheels and stuff..I think it would be considered a type of fair...cause there can be an art fair, a medival fair, etc...

I know the answer to that question...me and my friends had a little arguement over that haha.
Carnivals usually travel around to different locations, and fairs stay in one place.

But the Gray TN Fair only comes once a year to Gray. So that can't be true.
I pulled something in my back in weight lifting....

So I take it from the definition that a "fair" is home-based, whereas the "carnival" is the actual travelling type.
WTF am I debating about this for I don't even go to either ahaha
