Now I guess nobody buys the projects at these so called “fairs” – there are only judges who tell whether they like your project or not. Am I right, professor? Is this “fair” just an educational event without any selling products?

After reading it I tried to figure out what the words “heritage fair” mean. Now I know it`s an event that focuses on the history of pupils ` motherland. But I still don`t clearly understand what this heritage fair words mean.
F.e. do the participants sell their works? It`s just that I though “fair” is the place to sell and it puzzled me.
And google doesn`t give any sober information on what the “heritage event” means. I suppose it a kind of historical-cultural event that promotes the historical roots of the place.
Please, help!

I know it well. the truck guy is completely secure in his belief that he is a Fine Upstanding Citizen. he is not an aberration, he is in fact expressing the prevailing culture he moves in.
