My $7.00 admission fee proved to be worthwhile in every respect. The rides didn't begin until noon so I walked over to the displays of chicks, bees and other good stuff. Next, I went to Old McDonalds farm where smaller animals were visible through their cages. My thoughts on this aspect of the Fair was to make sure EVIE attend the fair. Young children abound with parents and grandparents.
Next was an antique tractor display.Whatever floats your boat, I guess. Larger animals including a Clydesdale and dairy cows caught my attention. More education on animal husbandry.
Exhibits are everywhere with vendors hoping to capture your interests.
I chatted briefly with WARE 97.7 FM Deejay Tony Powers. Today the local radio station has a much farther reach.www.classichits977. I even requested Piano Man by Billy Joel!
My highlight was to witness the Giant Pumpkin weigh-in. This year's winner at 675lbs is Wes Dwelly of Oakham. Wes is the all-time pumpkin champ..14 or 15 years winning. Talked to David Matera, my friend and client from yesteryear. His nephew and other contestants weighed in at 559lb, and 433 lb. The lightest pumpkin weighs 315.
I think this Spencer Fair is a real winner. You can check things out at www.spencerfair.org for details.
