COMMENTARY
A fresh start at the fair By Olivia L. Lawrence Citizen staff
no anticipation about seeing old friends. No jitters walking into the classroom to meet the teacher. (Mr. Smith, I heard he’s swell. Mrs. Meany, I heard she lives up to her name.)
sensation. It has all the same elements. Everything I expect to find is there — along with a few experiences I can’t predict. Just like school there’s fun, learning, challenges, socializing.
You wake up one day and you have a job and summer days blend seamlessly into autumn days, with no particular signposts or passages or It’s because I have seen all those excitement or anything of the sort. things many, many times — that’s Perhaps, as I did, you experienced a why I find a fair to visit every fall. slight sadness, a nostalgia, a moment In part, it’s the familiar, the tradition, of regret that the school phase of life was over. In this next chapter, you the sense that all the fun and surprises and long lost delights of a more get a couple of weeks of vacation (if you’re lucky) and then back to the innocent time can still be savored, grind. and unabashedly enjoyed.
It’s likely I’ll bump into an old acquaintance or two and have a chance to catch up (OMG, how was your summer, text me later). I’ll make some bad food choices (just like in the cafeteria.) There’ll be games and daring physical feats (like gym class). Crowds and a little rowdiness (like recess).
It’s not as if I haven’t seen baby pigs before. Or gargantuan pumpkins. Or an antique tractor so shiny and pristine that it looks like it just came off the assembly line.
But I also have another theory about why going to the fair fills a need, just as strongly in the adult as it does in the kid, and this has to do with going back to school.
There’d be no cheery banners to greet you saying “Welcome to Hogswart’s” or “StarFleet Academy — Ex astris, Scientia.” (Translation: From the stars, knowledge.)
Remember that first grown-up year when there’d be no return to classes? There’d be no elementary or high school or college orientation. There’d be no new shoes or Trapper Keeper,
Nothing of the sort. Just punch the clock, meet the deadline, do it again tomorrow.
Maybe I’ll even learn a few facts about livestock (science class and again, a little like recess.) I’ll visit the craft barn, photo and art exhibits, cooking and preserves displays and find out that some of my “classmates” in the real world are
smarter and more talented than I (and perhaps, alas, a few are less.) The fair, like the first day of school, marks that biorhythmic change of seasons, the bittersweet loss of summer and the exhilarating promises of fall and harvests and a chance to celebrate our rural roots before settling in for the long haul of winter. Berlin’s Lions Club 69th Annual Fair is coming up. Sept 15-17. So is Cheshire’s Fall Festival Sept. 15-16. If you miss those or just can’t get enough, check out the 98th annual Durham Fair Sept. 21-24 or the 49th annual Southington Apple Harvest Festival running on Sept. 29-Oct. 1 and Oct. 6-Oct. 8. Back to school or off to the fair, or both – you really don’t want to miss out.
For me, the country fair serves as a substitute for that back-to-school
Letters to the Editor Make a positive impact To the editor: Each and every day, the average American produces four pounds of trash. Around 30 percent of this trash is recyclable. Within our community, recycling can make a huge impact on our way of life. By recycling, not only are you going greener, but you are saving energy, raw materials and waste. So this year the Berlin Interact Club encourages you to put your bottles and cans into the blue recycling bins spread out around the Berlin Lions Fairgrounds. The money Interact receives from bottle redemption goes towards organizations that Interact Club partners with, like the local Salvation Army.
Therefore, at the Berlin Fair this year, we encourage you to recycle. Not only will you make an impact on our club and our town but the world’s environment as well. Gabriella Pattavina Berlin Interact Club
Tax proposal To the editor: Why doesn’t the town of Berlin give tax breaks to companies that want to come to town, with stipulations that they must stay long enough or pay back the tax breaks? That way we could increase the tax base without increasing personal taxes and losing more citizens! Jay Ritter Berlin
Who can resist these little pigs, seen here at a previous Berlin Fair.

Lions Club member Lenny Tubbs said “A lot of thought went into this.” The Lions Club made the decision in late October. Though it has rained during the fair weekend for the last few years, Tubbs said, weather was only part of the reason for the move. “At the end of the day we’re doing everything we can to make it a better fair,” he said.

Cavedon can create nearly any design a customer requests. He does the design on a computer and transfers the image to the laser cutter, which then either burns or cuts the piece of wood.
Currently, Cavedon’s pieces are sold online and at Stacey T’s Treasures in Wallingford and Southington Community Cultural Arts and Mister B’s Jerky Shop in Southington.

“Everything is in a holding pattern,” Steve Waznia, town fire marshal, said last week.
The investigation is still ongoing with surveillance footage from the Italian Club on Harding Street recently coming back from a lab. Waznia said the video only shows the fire starting at the north end of the building. “Nothing came of it,” he said. “We didn’t see anyone walking around or anything.”
Waznia said a recent meeting revealed that the state Department of Transportation is still waiting for a work order from

The town is still looking at future redevelopment though nothing can be done without Amtrak’s approval. The DOT awarded a contract for the removal of the debris and is still waiting for Amtrak’s permission to start work.
