Premium checks were processed and mailed in November. Due to the winter storm we experienced, they were mailed later that usual but we managed to get them done. Thank you to all our exhibitors for participating in our fair! We couldn't have a great fair without you all.

The Fair Is Over!!
The 155th Harwinton Fair is officially over. What a time it was!! The weather presented us with numerous challenges on all levels. The biggest one was probably the parking and water-soaked fields. But inspite of it all, we managed to get it done.
Based on the responses from our fairgoers, everyone enjoyed all the events, food, and traditions that go with our fair. Our exhibit buildings were full, the animal buildings were packed all day, and the entertainment was enjoyed.
The cleanup on Monday went well. Our loyal work crew is just about done getting everything ready for the winter months ahead. It's hard to believe the fair is over. But we'll be looking forward to the 156th Fair!
Thank you to all the fairgoers who come every year, to all our building superintendents, members, and volunteers who give us their time each year. We couldn't do it without any of you.
