So how about a reminder of some you have loved from years gone by.
We’re talking about the summer fairs where you can do everything from savouring a cupcake to having a go in the stocks.
We have 9 photos to share from Sunderland and County Durham. Were you pictured in the jazz band or on a rodeo ride?
Take a look and tell us more if you spot a scene which brings back happy memories.
