A fair (archaic: fayre) is a gathering of people to display or trade produce or other goods, to parade or display animals and often to enjoy associated carnival or funfair entertainment. It is normally of the essence of a fair that it is temporary; some last only an afternoon while others may last as long as ten weeks. Activities at fairs vary widely. Some trade fairs are important regular business events where either products are traded between businesspeople, as at the Frankfurt Book Fair, where publishers sell book rights in other markets to other publishers, or where products are showcased to largely consumer attendees, as for example in agricultural districts where they present opportunities to display and demonstrate the latest machinery on the market to farmers.
Fairs are also known by many different names around the world, such as agricultural show, fête, county fair, exhibition or state fair, festival, market and show. Flea markets and auto shows are sometimes incorporated into a fair.

Plot
Jake Remy leads a gang of outlaw cutthroats making their escape toward Mexico from a successful robbery. Barring their way is a river--crossable only by means of a ferry barge. The barge operator, Travis, refuses to be bullied into providing transport for the gang and escapes across river with most of the local populace--leaving Remy and his gang behind, desperately seeking a way across. A river-wide stand-off begins between the gang and the townspeople, both groups of which have left people on the wrong side of the river.

How much is enough?
It starts with a slaughter. Then the real action begins. Barquero. He had his own life-style. And his own death-style.
[first lines]::Boy: Hey mister.::Travis: What?::Boy: You're strong, ain't 'cha?::Travis: Yeah. Suppose so.::Boy: How long did it take ya?::Travis: To do what?::Boy: To build the boat. This man said that you built the boat. How long did it take?::Travis: Quite a while.::Boy: That sure is a great gun there.::Travis: Mmm hmm...::Boy: How many Indians did ya kill with it?::Travis: None. But I shot and scalped a lot of freckle-faced kids.

Remy: [delirious] I shot the river.
Anna: Back east I read books about men taming the wilderness. I dreamed about those men. They weren't like you. They weren't like you, they were statues that people could look up to. The only resemblance you bear to a statue is pigeon droppings.::Travis: There may be hope for you yet.::Anna: No Travis, you're the one there's no hope for. After you're dead me and my kind will still be here, and everything will be ours. You're like those prehistoric beasts that become extinct. Oh, they'll still write nice stories about your kind, you'll be a hero and all that. But most of all you'll be dead.
[last lines]::Remy: We might a gotten along pretty good if it weren't for that barge. Now probably down in Mexico we'd a killed a bottle of tequila together, wouldn't we?::Travis: We'd a killed something, that's for sure.
