Total number of children at the fair = 22,869
Total number of men at the fair = 49,563
Since, there were 2872 more women than men at the fair.
So, total number of women at the fair = 49,563 + 2872
= 52,435
So, total number of people
= Total number of children + Total number of men + Total number of women
= 22,869 + 49,563 + 52,435
= 124,867
Therefore, there are 124,867 total people at the fair.
