OF MANY CULTURES A chance to take a trip around the world — not in 80 days but in a single day. That was what the 1974 Folk Fair offered. The event transformed Davies' upper floor into a small world of its own for a day. Visitors were able to travel from one country to another; each display held elements of a different culture. Latin America. Native America. Spain, Scandinavia, Germany, France. Italy, Japan, China, Thailand. Africa, and Bangladesh were some of the areas represented. Each group displayed costumes and crafts to convey the atmosphere of the particular country. Most had samples of their native foods for visitors to buy. which seemed to be the main attraction of the fair. A hungry visitor could start, for instance. in China with an oggroll, and then move on to Italy for an Italian sausage sandwich before going to Latin America for a taco. After finishing the main course, dessert was offered in the form of crepes and cream puffs from France, Indian fry bread from Native America, and African sweet potato pie. Or one could travel to Germany to sample the variety of bundt cakes and tortes offered there. Scandinavia featured a smorgasbord of such dainties as Krumkakes, fattigmand. sand-bakkels, and rosettes — light delicacies, some sprinkled with powdered sugar. A visitor could take in native dancing and singing, or the excitement of children scrambling for prizes from a broken pinata. The Spanish room provided a quiet retreat for visitors to sit and collect their thoughts before returning home to America.
