You are going to the local fair with your family.  There are rides, games, and shows that you are so excited to see!

  • The fair opens the gates at 6:00 PM.  You will need to wait in lines to buy an entrance ticket and unlimited wristbands for the rides.  
  • Your dad really wants to go see the pig show.  Your sister really wants to see the acrobat mermaid show.  The shows start at specific times.
  • Your family will need a dinner break.  You really want a corndog and funnel cake, and your mom really wants chili cheese fries!  It will take about 30 minutes to buy the food and to eat. 
  • You can ride as many rides as you want, as many times as you want with your unlimited wristband.  The rides you can’t miss this year are the 50 Foot Ferris Wheel and the Space Scrambler.  You also want to do the Mean Scream Machine.  The long wait in lines will be worth it!  You also want to go into the House of Mirrors, if there is time. 
  • You also want to play at least 1 game.  You really want to win that giant stuffed flamingo!
  • The fair closes at 10:00 PM.

You decide to make a schedule for your family, to make sure that you have time to do everything.
