2023 Fair of Minedonia

The 2023 Fair of Minedonia was an annual fair featuring exhibits, games, and eateries from different companies. The fair opened on September 24th, 2023 after a speech by GodOfLegoz.

## Construction

On January 28th, 2023, Mr. Mills began working on a ride for the Fair which he proclaimed will be the tallest ride in Minedonia. Construction of it comprised of scrapping a prototype zeppelin and the Overlord helicopter from the 2022 Fair of Minedonia.

On August 27th, the front road leading to the entrance and parking lots of the Fair were removed and were planned to be rebuilt. It was also planned that the parking lots would also be eventually removed in favor of using the large parking lots at the future Minedonia Colosseum.

On August 28th, Mr. Mills’ ride, *Spencer Hastings Ride*, was moved into position at the Fair grounds. A section full of trees were removed in order for the ride to be placed. The 2nd year banners were also added throughout the Fair grounds, replacing the 1st year ones from the last Fair.

On August 30th, it was announced that the 2023 Fair of Minedonia would open on September 24th, rather than September 27th in an attempt to draw more people to the Fair.

On September 3rd, the centerpiece of the Fair was switched out from an eagle to a World Edit wand statue. An ornamental statue was also built and added to the Fair grounds as well. A billboard was placed in Downtown Minedonia regarding the Fair.

## Opening Day

On September 24th, the fair officially opened with citizens lining up to get tickets from Alexander Murray at the ticket booth. Official tickets on book and quills were produced for the Fair and handed out for various fees. The Fair then progressed to a speech given by GodOfLegoz regarding the future of Minedonia. There were eleven people (excluding GodOfLegoz and OverlordTrump) during the speech.

Several activities took place during Opening Day as well including riding the *Spencer Hastings Ride,* exploring The House of The Future and the Shitters of Minedonia exhibits, and playing several small games and activities such as the BS Detector, and Dunk-A-Mitch. Eateries included several outdoor vendors and a canteen. A picture was also taken of all of the visitors of the Fair at the World Edit wand statue in the center of the Fair.

## Exhibits

On September 3rd, Henry Ford announced a contest to design and build a replica statue of Woofus, a mythological figure comprised of various animals, that was displayed at the 1936 State Fair in Dallas, Texas in the United States. Creative liberties are allowed, however, the end result must be a replica statue of Woofus. The base of the statue cannot be more than 5 blocks long by 3 blocks wide. Henry Ford also advised against the extensive use of armor stands. The prizes are 300, 150, and 75 Donians for 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place respectively. The 1st place statue is also planned to be displayed at front of the Hall of State building at the Fair grounds.

On September 19th, Mr. Mills' exhibit: "The House of the Future" was moved in between the stage and the *Spencer Hastings Ride*. The exhibit showcases a prototype house design along with a prototype road design that Mr. Mills believes will be used in the future.

On September 23rd, henryford016's exhibit: "Shitters of Minedonia", otherwise known as the "The Most Ridiculous Builds in All of Minedonia" was moved into the Hall of State building. The exhibit highlights some of the worst smaller-sized builds built in Minedonia.
