Buildings

 * Meet and Greet Tents (Used for meeting people involved, related or even not related it all to FairCon and Carwardine Parks, this has been a tradition since the very first FairCon)
 * Pin Shops (Pin Shops were added in FairCon II back in 1991, in the original FairCon, they were given out on the streets, but due to the popularity and massive swarming issues, pin shops were made their own thing in 1991, and starting in 1995, they had 2 pin shops instead of 1)
 * Porta-potties (Nowadays, there are 32 of these, but the first FairCon had 16, which was problematic due to the amount of people needing to use the bathroom, some of them had to hold it in and wait, some had to use the bathroom in their pants, and in extreme, risk taking cases, they used the bathroom outside, Chris Carwardine referred to it as "The FairCon I Problem" in Resurrecting America's Theme Parks.)
