As always, the old Fair carnival games are back. However, I am VERY disappointed in Club Penguin. They said that there would be brand new games this year. Unless you count rooms where you walk around to a certain spot and earn 10 tickets as a game, there were no new games this year. They added rides this year, where you could earn 10 tickets by hitting a target of some sort. Some, like the Space Squid and the Wagon Wheel, were completely pointless, but I still had fun using them. However, I think you should've earned 50 or 100 tickets when you hit a target on the rides, considering the high prices of the items this year. There was no reason to go on the rides to earn tickets when you could play a game like Puffle Paddle and earn way more tickets way faster.
Also, the Penguin Band is here. NOPE! Just kidding! For some reason Club Penguin thought it would be a cool idea to just have the Penguin Band perform, but not waddle around, even though Penguin Band hasn't even had any mascot appearances since the unofficial My Penguin Launch Party in May 2013! If you only count official appearances, then it was the Make Your Mark: Ultimate Jam in July 2012. And even then, they only made RARE appearances. Instead we got Rookie...
And the Daily Spinner was TERRIBLE. If it was just coins and tickets I wouldn't mind, but Club Penguin had the stupidity to put TWO PINS AND A BACKGROUND ON IT! That's terrible for people who try to collect every item like me, because whether or not you got those items was based entirely on luck. Thankfully, both of my accounts combined got all the items, but the fact that I missed one on both accounts should be a red flag.
Score: 2/5

DecorationsLike the Prehistoric Party, this year's Fair is unfortunately comprised of only party rooms. WHY? Club Penguin had something great going with the original fair, and they decided to cram it into just four party rooms, and the six "rides". These decorations are alright, but, why did they do it?
Also, they added an evening sky to the party. It looks nice, but why do we need it? The Fair was fine without it before.
Overall these decorations make me feel like I'm at some small carnival, not at a huge fair.
Score: 3/5
Items
As with any fair, there's a lot of items. They're all pretty nice, including some new Puffle Hats, and a ton of other stuff, like the Pixel Shades, Retro Joystick, and Balloon Sword. Some of them are a bit weird (Pork Pie Hat), and there's some strange recolor choices, like the Twinkle Twinkle Hat, which is a recolor of The Tree Topper from the Holiday Parties... Yeeeah. There's also the new backgrounds for Rookie and the Penguin Band, and the Daily Spinner items (grrr.....).
HOWEVER - there is one huge flaw with the items this time. Not the items themselves, no, the prices. To get EVERY item at The Fair, non-members will need to get 10,600 tickets. To get every new member item, members will need to get 25,050 tickets. Add to that the 17,800 tickets you'll need to purchase all the returning items. Puffle Hats cost 4000 tickets a piece. Assuming you need EVERY item and only want each Puffle Hat once, you'll need a whopping 53,450 tickets. And Club Penguin does NOTHING about this. The only new ways to earn tickets are the Daily Spin and the new fair rides, and you only earn garbage from those. Games where you can earn lots of tickets force you to play a while just to accumulate over 500. Kids are in school, likely with mountains of homework to do when they get home! They don't have time to be on Club Penguin constantly earning 53,450 tickets for all these prizes, especially with how HARD it is to earn these tickets!

Music
If there's one good thing about this party, it's definitely the music. Club Penguin composed some AMAZING new songs for this party - although the returning songs feel out of place. Shadow Guy and Gamma Gal for a pirate game? Err...

Non-Member Friendliness
This party isn't even friendly to members but whatever... Non-members can't get most of the items, but if they get a Silver Ticket on the Daily Spin, they can ride one of the rides. I think non-members were lucky that they didn't have to get all of the prizes... but that's just me.

Final Thoughts
People complained about how similar The Fair 2012 was to the previous parties - but it was way better than this version. Bring back the old Fair, Club Penguin!
