Grange Fair 2010 by HerbG

It’s time for one of Bucks County’s biggest summer events, the 63rd annual Middletown Grange Fair, happening Wednesday August 17th, 2011 through Sunday, August 21st, 2011.

The Grange Fair builds upon Bucks County’s rich tradition as a farming community, offering visitors a glimpse at antique farm equipment, showcasing just about every kind of farm animal (horses, cows, sheep, pigs), and hosting a variety of agricultural-themed competitions throughout the week.

Beyond the farm, though, the Grange Fair also offers a busy schedule of family-themed events- musicians, pie eating contests, pageants, and even a couple Hershey dessert contests! The entertainment scheduled is jam-packed with creative routines- from a dog-comedy routine appropriately titled “Mutts Gone Nutts” to Elvis tributes to the Wild Wild West Show.
