Association of CT Fairs Member Pass - As members of the CT Association of Fairs, the 4-H Fair receives two passes each year.  We are housing one in the New Haven County Extension Center and the other in the Middlesex County Extension Center.  Each pass allows two people into any member fair.  The passes will be loaned out on a first come-first serve basis.  You will need to contact the office to reserve the ticket and return it in a timely fashion so that it is available for someone else for the next fair.  The only other obligation for using the pass is to share any ideas for possible improvements, additions, etc. to the 4-H fair at the October meeting or by email to me or Emily.  Call 203-407-3161 to reserve the ticket in New Haven and 860-345-4511 in Haddam.
