Details: Imagine for a minute the childhood thrill at walking across a grassy field and entering a magical world of tents, animals, candy and plenty of rides. That is what the fair is all about, being held on Labor Day's weekend, in the grounds of old Fort Tuthill.
The fair is like a local exhibition combined with a touch of country. Livestock and horses mingle peacefully amongst the many tented venues. The smell of barbecued hamburgers and hotdogs tantalizes the taste buds into a feeding frenzy. As if that was not enough, popcorn, milkshakes, corn dogs, brownies, fudge, cotton candy and toffee apples appear around almost every corner. Huge carnival sized rides – ferris wheels and bumper cars – draw in the crowds. Local artisans and crafts people offer interesting and unique trinkets as take home souvenirs. In the background, the fair dances to the sound of local musicians and folk music whilst in the distance, the demolition derby revs its cars' engines to the cheers of onlookers.
