2012 will be the 39^th year the Windsor County Ag Fair is held at Barlow’s Fields in Springfield.

The two-day schedule of events will include 4-H dairy and working steer competitions, draft horse farm competition, oxen and pony pulls, antique tractor exhibition, and the more! Fair hours are 10 AM to 7 PM on Saturday and 10 AM to 4 PM on Sunday, and the fair is held rain-or-shine.  The daily price of admission is $7.00 for adults and $3.00 for children under twelve and all 4-H members with a valid membership card.  A discount is available for 2-day tickets.

The focus of this year’s fair is on NEW AGRICULTURE, which of course is really just returning to the “old” ways of local food and small family farms. Farmers, dairies, craftspeople and trades-people will be displaying their wares in the following areas:

• Farmer’s Market held on Sunday, July 8^th, open to all farmers and crafters who want to show their wares. There’s nothing better than fresh local food!
  
  

• Agricultural Exhibition Area featuring a wide variety of “How To” exhibits that showcases carpentry, masonry walls, gardening, beekeeping, maple syrup grading, cheese-making, raising poultry and more. Look for the bullet boat exhibit from Stuart Stocker Carpentry!

• Children’s Activity Tent where non-profits and other exhibitors are invited to provide hands-on activities and games for children related to farming and agriculture.

The entertainment this year includes "Vermont's Own" 40th Army Band on Saturday July 7 at 12:30p.m., a performance not to be missed! The local band The Illusion will have you rockin’ out to classic favorites! The VINS Raptor Encounters are scheduled for both Saturday and Sunday – so if you missed it last year you have double the chance to see it. Buddy the Clown will be entertaining kids and adults alike both days.
