The Fair

Saturday morning is The Fair. Here you can buy all sorts of odds and ends. The Tongans who move off island to Australia, New Zealand, or U.S. send goods home for their families to sell for income. Hence, if you see something you want, get it now. It may not be here next week ... or even later if you plan to stop on the way back to your car. I lost out on caramel sauce last week.

Items for sale vary from food, toiletries, clothes, shoes, tools, cooking utensils, and more. This past Saturday the man who is a guard at our office in Mu'afunga was selling stuff. It was fun to see him in another setting.






















We went with Elder and Sister Heiner. Here the guys are moving on ahead. I think Elder Heiner is holding the big sack of rice we each bought. We also bought liquid soap, shampoo, and various canned goods. Elder Heiner also bought a Hawaiian type shirt. Elder Thomson did not find one his size. We will buy him one in town.



                        
   
These boys are manning the stall for the
family. I love the smiles, and they are
always ready for a picture.                                                 US brands. I got Tresemme shampoo.
