In its 33rd year, this annual fair is held on the grounds of the historic Crook Farm.

The lawn is lined with vendors selling homemade as well as other merchandise. Music wafts through the air as visitors can explore the buildings on site, including the old homestead and bank building. A nearby walking trail is perfect for walking off some extra caleries consumed at the bake sale.
