Phil White said he had been travelling with the fair for the past 11 years, and it was anything but a "get rich quick" scheme.
But meeting people, travelling the country and making a living selling his crafts was worth it, the woodworker said.
The fair rolled into town last week, and made one corner of the Oval a homage to the world of wind chimes, jewellery, hair extensions, candy floss, tattoos, crystals and even a shooting gallery with a coin-operated "sexometer" outside.
All those and more were on sale or available outside a mixture of about 30 fanciful and sometimes incredible house trucks, along with Mr White's wooden toys and other creations.
Mr White said the fair had been going for more than 20 years. It travelled up and down the country, and stopped in Dunedin every Easter.
Mr White said he began with a fantasy of building his own house truck, and making a living from his craft. Now he was part of what he described as "a unique set-up".
