Animal Friends Error in Premium Book

An error was discovered in our Premium Book on page 18 for Department G - Animal Friends. The amount paid for each exhibitor should read $100.00 not $10.00.

The line should correctly read:

Each exhibitor entering for the two days with a minimum of two animals and a display will receive $100.00 and a complimentary Fair pass.

Scholarships Awarded

On August 22nd, the Harwinton Agricultural Society awarded two $1,000.00 scholarships at our annual Appreciation Picnic. The two recipients are Nicolle Hill and Joscyln Pearson. We wish them both success at the schools they will be attending this fall. It's always great knowing we have helped them to continue their educations!

Harwinton Fair Appreciation Picnic

Despite a very rainy afternoon, the Harwinton Agricultural Society held its annual Appreciation Picnic for the workers & volunteers who make our fair such a success each year. The food was great and the company was even better. Ernie Schultz supplied wonderful accordion music for young and old to enjoy.

Actually, our board members and their families also need a definite "THANKS" for doing this event each year. Before we know it, it will be FAIR TIME! So let's all gear up and here we go again!!!
