[Tagging] Annual Shows

The problem.... ???

A 'show' is an event.

Assume that the place is tagged correctly.

How would an event be tagged?

I think for me the best fit is as a node - that sits within the area 
where it is held.
The some tags such as;
event:date=easter/xmass/25 Dec/*
event:function=anual_show/agricultrial_show/fair/*
name=*
operator=*

etc.
This would allow for more than one event in the same area. If the tags 
were under some physical feature then having more than one event could 
produce problems.
