Worknights Every Tuesday
Worknights have started on every Tuesday evening from 5:00 p.m. on. There are projects once again to be completed before fair time. Work has begun on roads around the grounds. There will be upkeep and repairs to some of the buildings.
New drainage has started on our parking fields with the generosity of the Harwinton Lions Club donating materials for this work. With proper drainage of the water on those fields, the grounds will be improved to allow better use of those areas during concerts, fair parking and other events at our facilities.
Painting is an ongoing task. Keeping up the buildings and grounds take a lot of time and effort from our directors and members. Volunteers are always welcome. Just show up on Tuesday and we'll definitely find something you can do to help out. You can also contact one of our directors or members who will be happy to hear from you.

Winter at the Fairgrounds
Things are quiet at the Fairgrounds this time of the year. The Annual Dinner meeting was held on December 8, 2009, at the Harwinton Congregational Church in Harwinton. We have four directors who have stepped down from the Board: John Mazzochi, Ellie Woike, Paul Schweitzer & George Beck. All of these directors have given countless hours to make our Fair such a success. We can't thank them all enough for what they have contributed to our Society.
We have a new director this year; Phil Galullo has agreed to come on to the Board. Phil and his wife Kelly have been active members & workers for three years helping out painting on work nights & running the soda booths at fair time. We look forward to having him on our Board of Directors.
