The Canadian National Exhibition is an annual fair that happens in Toronto.
It is the largest annual fair in Canada, and the sixth largest in North America, with 1.5 million visitors each year.
The fair started in 1879 and has happened every year except during World War I and World War II when the fairground was used instead by the Canadian Army to train soldiers.
It also did not happen in 2020 and 2021 because of the COVID-19 pandemic.
The fair is held in the during the last two weeks of August and the first few days of September and ends on Labour Day.
At the fair people can see shows and exhibits, demonstrations of new technology, farm animals, and they can also enjoy rides such as roller coasters and play games.
A fair is a gathering of people for a variety of entertainment or business related activities.
A fair may last for several days or weeks and may occur every year at a specific location.
Some fairs from generally smallest or biggest include:
Village fair, a festival, party or celebration that happens every year or every few years.
Traditionally, they were held to celebrate a good harvests or religious gatherings.
Traveling funfair/carnival, an amusement show made up of amusement rides, food stalls, merchandise selling stalls, games of "chance and skill", thrill acts and (now less often) animal acts.
A town/city's street fair or market celebrates character of a neighborhood and local merchants.
County fair (USA) or county show (UK), a public event displaying the equipment, animals, sports and recreation associated with agriculture and animal breeding.
Regional or state fair, an annual competition and recreation get-together.
Including exhibits or competitors that have won a prize at the local fairs.
Trade fair, an event held so that companies in a specific industry can showcase and demonstrate their latest products and services, study activities of rivals, and examine recent market trends and opportunities.
Festival, an event ordinarily coordinated with a theme e.g. music, art, season, tradition, history, ethnicity, religion, or a national holiday.
The Roman fairs were holidays on which there was an intermission of labor and pleadings.
In the Roman provinces of Judea and Syria Palaestina, Jewish rabbis prohibited Jews from participating in fairs in certain towns because the religious nature of the fairs contravened the prescribed practice of Judaism.
In the Middle Ages, many fairs developed as short-lasting markets and were very important for long-distance and international trade.
Traders travelled, sometimes for many days, to fairs where they could be sure to meet those they needed to buy from or sell to.
Fairs were usually tied to special Christian religious events, such as the Saint's day of the local church.
Stagshaw, in England, held annual fairs as early as 1293 consisting of the sales of animals.
Along with the main fair held on 4 July, the city also hosted smaller fairs throughout the year where certain types of animals were sold, such as one for horses, one for lambs, and one for ewes.
The Kumbh Mela, held every twelve years, at Allahabad, Haridwar, Nashik, and Ujjain is one of the largest fairs in India, where more than 60 million people gathered in January 2001, making it the largest gathering anywhere in the world.
Kumbha means a pitcher and Mela means fair in Sanskrit.
In the United States, fairs draw in as many as 150 million people each summer.
Children's competitions at an American fair range from breeding small animals to robotics, whilst the organization 4-H has become a traditional association.
Choro-Q Advance (Japanese: チョロＱアドバンス Choro-kyū Adobansu) (localized as Gadget Racers in the United States and Penny Racers in Europe) is the first of two Choro-Q video games to be released on the Nintendo Game Boy Advance.
Choro-Q Advance is described as a "CarPG".
The main goal of the game is to advance across five sections of a world map, completing several events along the way in several categories (such as a simple race, a speed test, a single lap dash, a drag race or a braking test).
Wins earn money and parts, with the player's stats being able to be upgraded through the use of new parts, and also visual customisation of the player's car, spedometer and changing their horn.
There were also other types of races - battle races where players would shoot eachother with weapons equipped to their cars, and races across water that would require floats.
These two types would carry onto the sequel.
The game uses a graphical system similar to other GameBoy Advance racing games at the time, with Mode-7 styled ground effects with billboarded sprites intended to give the impression of 3D graphics.
This game allows players to share "bottle racers" with other players that would appear in the races of the players that received said bottle racers.
This was included along with a traditional link-play mode via the Game Boy Advance Link Cable.
The Japanese version of the game featured a mail system that would inform you of specific things on your journey through the events.
This was removed from all other versions of the game.

Agatharchides   or Agatharchus  was a Greek historian and geographer living in the  second century BC).
Agatharchides is believed to have been born at Cnidus,  he was later a secretary to Heraclides Lembus.
Agatharchides wrote a few words about his own life.
At the conclusion of his book On the Erythraean Sea, he apologizes for being unable to complete his work "since our age is unable to similarly bear the toil" and "as a result of the disturbances in Egypt" he could no longer access the official records (a fragment cited by Photius in his Bibliotheca Cod.
250.110, 460b).
Agatharchides was not well known in ancient times.
Of his two major works, Affairs in Asia (Ta kata ten Asian) in ten books, and Affairs in Europe (Ta kata ten Europen) in forty-nine books, only a few fragments survive, too few to provide us with any sense of the contents of either work.
However, for his On the Erythraean Sea (Peri tes Erythras Thalasses or De Mari Erythraeo) in five books, almost the entire fifth book, a geographical treatise on the Horn of Africa and the lands around the Red Sea, has survived almost intact.
According to Burstein, "the comparative soberness of Agatharchides' treatment compared to previous accounts and the wealth of information contained in it led to a quick recognition . . . [
that it was] a valuable summary of the results of Ptolemaic exploration."
In the first book of On the Erythraean Sea was a discussion respecting the origin of the name.
In the fifth Agatharchides described the mode of life amongst the Sabaeans in Arabia, and the Ichthyophagi, or fish-eaters, the way in which elephants were caught by the elephant-eaters, and the mode of working the gold mines in the mountains of Egypt, near the Red Sea.
His account of the Ichthyophagi and of the mode of working the gold mines, has been copied by Diodorus (iii.12-18).
Amongst other extraordinary animals he mentions the camelopard, which was found in the country of the Troglodytae, and the rhinoceros.
An Agatharchides, of Samos, is mentioned by Plutarch, as the author of a work on Persia, and one περὶ λίθων.
J.A. Fabricius, however,  the true reading is Agathyrsides, not Agatharchides.
The crater Agatharchides on the Moon is named in his honour.
