おもちゃはいかがですか？
戸倉上山田温泉の盆踊り会場で、商工会青年部はかき氷やダーツ、金魚打つくいなど屋台を出します。今までは私が射的担当でしたが、今年は初めて、おもちゃ販売の担当しました。
シアトルに住んでいた時に、毎年に地元のＦａｉｒに行きました。知り合いが家族で雑貨の屋台を出していた。私も遊びで少し手伝った。Ｆａｉｒで屋台側とお客さんとの交流は独特な雰囲気だよね。私は大好きです。今日のおもちゃ屋台も楽しかった。子供連れのお客さんに、子供に向かって、「この光るおもちゃをお父さんに買ってあげたら、夜にお父さんはどこに行ったか分かるよ」とか、色々と楽しい交流が出来ました。
For Togura Kamiyamada Onsen's Bon Odori festival, the chamber of commerce junior association puts up a bunch of booths, like cotton candy, shaved ice, darts, etc. Up until now, I have been in charge of the shateki cork gun shooting game, but this year it was my turn to run the toys booth.
It reminded me of when we were living in Seattle and the times we went to the annual State Fair. A buddy of mine and his family ran a booth with toys and all kinds of stuff. He let me help out -- oh the fun we had with the "money snatcher" game. That whole playful interaction between the shop owners and the guests was so much fun.
Here at the toys booth, I would see some adults with their children, and, to the kids, would say, "How about getting your Dad this glow-in-the-dark toy? That way you could see where he was at night!" All kinds of fun interaction like that.
