Fan fair for fanfare

Spotted here:
https://www.ktrakcycle.com/index.html

In the press release section, not directly linkable:
“Ktraks first prototype kits were released to much fan fair at the largest North American bike show.”

It’s hard to google this to find other examples because most results are using it intentionally.
“Fan fair” has a feeling of celebratory appreciation, which I think makes it a pretty clear eggcorn for fanfare.
Surprised I didn’t find it with search here.

Re: Fan fair for fanfare

I’m no expert, but this one seems to have distinct eggcorn possibilities! The imagery of a fan fair is great.


Feeling quite combobulated.
