The last Fair photos ( for this year!)

At the Draft Horse show--2 horse hitch--love seeing the horses & wagons! A close up pf the Dolans & their hitch--I think it is a 6 horse. Thsi family has competed in every Draft horse show we have had at the fair--and it celebrated it 20th year this year.


And the newest event --1st time this year--a truck pull. It was a big hit, too. All events were crowded this year--we have been the only fair in our county to have 3 great weather days so far--there have been 3 other fairs & they all have had rain for at 1 1/2 days of their 3 days.

And the piglets--isn't this a great photo? ( these are all from the woman that hadn't been in 25 years--Sarah) We try to have one sow & piglets because it is a very popular draw--people love to see the little guys running around or curled up with Mama! or sleeping with a smile on their faces!



Two blacksmiths outside the antique barn. The barn is filled with antique farm machinery, old carriages, household stuff and tools. We also have a woodcarver, quilters, a potter and others doing demos of their skills. The gentleman without the hat ( or I could say the bald guy) is also the 1st selectman in Goshen--before he took office he made his living as a blacksmith .
