Happy Nothing Day

In my town, they give you the day off work to go to a show. Specifically, it's the annual agricultural exhibition (more commonly known as The Ekka) and it's on until Saturday. Yesterday was "People's Day" which means everyone gets the day off work. Seriously, People's Day is quieter than Christmas and fewer shops are open. It's the one holiday whose emotional/religious content is at absolute zero and everyone does one of three things:
1. Go to the show.
2. Go to a park with family or friends, because everyone's at the show.
3. Stay home because everyone's at the show or in the parks.

PS - I went for option two, after a decent sleep-in.
PPS - It's hard to tell which is the most popular option.
