Help Us Celebrate 100 Years

To celebrate the 100th Anniversary of the Haddam Neck Fair a pictorial history is being planned covering the fair from 1911 to the present. The “History of the Haddam Neck Fair” will be published to celebrate the centennial in 2011. The book committee is currently seeking photographs of all aspects of the fair dating from 1911 to 2009 that could be used in the publication. Please contact Dianne McHutchison (President, Haddam Neck Fair Association) at rdmchutchison@sbcglobal.net or Elizabeth Malloy (Director of the Haddam Historical Society) at director@haddamhistory.org if you have photographs you would like to share. Please also share your favorite memories of the fair with us on the blog.

Welcome


July 2010


In 2011 the Haddam Neck Fair will celebrate its 100th anniversary and members of the fair association and community would like to honor the event by publishing a pictorial history of the fair. We are seeking photographs and stories of the fair since its beginning. The event holds a special place in the hearts of many and remains a true country fair. Please share your memories of the fair with us on the blog or write us a note. We will host a number of drop in sessions at local libraries and other locations where residents can bring photos to scan and reminisce. The book will feature all aspects of the fair from baked goods to cattle pulls. Did you win the baby contest? Do you have pictures of your prize winning floral arrangement or first time on the ferris wheel? Share your photos of your first place chickens or pie eating contest. We hope to regularly post new information and photographs as they become available. Please feel free to contact Dianne McHutchison or Elizabeth Malloy at the above email addresses. Please join this year at the 99th Annual Haddam Neck Fair on Labor DAy Weekend.
