It was a nice fair and we hope you got a lot out of the experience. A couple things: 1. Home arts entries – a limited number of home arts entries/ribbons and judging cards were left behind. IF you feel you are missing something, please email Peggy with a description of the article. The remaining items will be disposed of after Labor Day. 2. October Fair Meeting date change: due to conflicts in scheduling, the October election/evaluation meeting has been rescheduled to November 1st. We are planning on holding it at the St. Andrews Church in Northford, starting at 7:00 pm. We are still looking for members to fill the nominating slate.
