  "account": "Crowds continue to grow at the Joy FM Back-to-School Fair as families rush to finish their school supplies before the new academic year begins. The two-day event, held at the Joy FM Car Park in Kokomlemle, Accra, comes to a close today, September 5, after opening to the public from 8am to 8pm on both days. Families stroll between vendor booths, comparing prices, selecting items, and checking off their back-to-school lists. The variety of products available includes books, stationery, school bags, shoes, clothing, electronics, sanitary products, and household essentials, catering to all of a student's needs. Popular vendors such as Flow Glow Impact, Haps Global Logistics Limited, and Afram Publications Ghana Limited are among those participating in this year's fair. One parent praised the fair for its affordability and convenience, and encouraged others to take advantage of the final day to complete their back-to-school shopping.",
