It provides entertainment and also great learning which is useful later in life. This year my school organised a fete on Saturday, the 10th of October. Feverish preparation began a fortnight before the event. Each class was asked to set up a stall of their choice. We collected contributions from our classmates and sent out invitations to parents, requesting them to join the festivity with their friends and relatives.<\/p>\n    <p>The day turned out to be cloudy but by midday the Sun peeped through the clouds, which hung heavy in the sky. They threatened to play spoilsport, but thankfully a westerly breeze them steadily blew away, bringing much cheer to our dampened spirits.<\/p>\n    <p>Making my way to the big playfield, excited shouts of glee from my friends greeted me. Numerous colourful stalls adorned the school ground. In the centre an orchestra was belting out the latest musical hit, which added gaiety and festivity to the occasion. A huge giant wheel in one corner of the field had small children shouting with delight as the wheel went up and down.<\/p>\n    <p>I took my position on the counter of our stall selling eatables like snacks and chowmein. It was great fun serving the customers most of whom were my friends. We seemed to have matured overnight, working like true businessmen, accounting for cash and stocks. The next stall was selling cakes and chocolates and they were also doing brisk business. The occasional cackle of the loud speaker broke the revelry to make an announcement.<\/p>\n    <p>A friendly tap on my shoulder made me turn around \u201cHi Siddhant,\u201d said Rohit as he caught my hand and escorted me to his stall selling raffle tickets and persuaded me to buy one. I reluctantly parted with a ten rupee note in exchange for the ticket, which I carelessly shove in my pocket. Taking a break from my stall, I went around the other stalls, eating chocolates and ice cream, till I had run out of money.<\/p>\n    <p>As the sun set we wound up the stall which was almost depleted. Handing over the collection to my class teacher, I was about to depart, when I heard the number of the lucky winner being announced. I pulled out the crumbled ticket from my pocket\u2014Lo and behold! I had struck the jackpot. In a trance I walked up to the podium, to collect the prize.<\/p>\n    <p>Thereafter all boundaries began to crumble, as teachers and students danced to the music of the orchestra. I too joined in the fun and merrymaking. It was exciting and enjoyable to practically learn lesson of team work and coordination.<\/p>\n    <p>Later I trudged home with the prize, which shall always remind me of the wonderful time I had in the school fete.<\/p>\n  <\/div>\n\n  <div class=\"xc-s-note\">\n    <strong>Practice tip:<\/strong> In an event-based descriptive essay, select a few details that make the scene vivid\u2014colour, sound, movement, people and your own role.
