Durham Fair returning for its 101st year By Nadya Korytnikova Town Times
The formidable Durham Fair will open its gates for the 101st time next week. One of the largest agricultural fairs in North America managed entirely by unpaid volunteers, Durham’s annual fall festival kicks off Thursday, Sept. 23 and runs through Sunday, Sept. 26.
Helping to build an annual tradition: Mary Stone, the first secretary of the Durham Fair, is pictured with Marjorie Mathewson, secretary of the 1959 fair.
“This is a great event and a good way for people to relax and have a good time with their families,” fair treasurer Leonard Baginski stated. “I love the sense of community, seeing people wandering around and just being happy.” Carol Harvey, superintendent of the souvenir stand, said the sense of community at the fair is palpable. Her favorite attraction, she

With less than a week to go until the 2021 Durham Fair, local volunteers are getting ready and excited to be back at it after last year's cancellation due to the pandemic. This year, the theme is “Growing Stronger.” It seems fitting, as our local community puts in the extra effort to ensure our attendees, exhibitors and fairgoers can safely enjoy this year's event. The Durham Fair is committed to following all recommended COVID guidelines: See Stronger, A3

On Aug. 2, 1916, it was voted to form the Durham Fair Association with an annual membership fee of 50 cents, and the following officers were elected: President Harry Ryan, Vice-President Wal-
At subsequent meetings, it was voted to make the general admission fee 25 cents for adults and 10 cents for children, and to allow schoolchildren to exhibit in Town Hall free of charge.
At the Sept. 22, 1916 meeting, it was voted to have music at the fair with the cost not to exceed $50. A feature of the first fair and every fair through 1924 was a parade down Main Street, which began at Burckel’s Corner (intersection of Haddam QuarSee History, A6

Always enjoying the last weekend of September
We would go to the fairgrounds the evening before the fair opened and scope the place out. It was almost as much fun as the fair, as we got the lay of the land. The new rides. What food we would be feasting on. The events and programs. We would walk through all the animal barns, with the luxury of not being jostled by the crowds. I remember one year Ryan trying to convince me to bring home a baby pig that was for sale. If it wasn’t for the fact that I am not zoned for any such thing, I would have brought that little cutie home. The first day of the fair we were at the gate at 9 a.m. sharp. Back then school was in session until 1:30. Early dismissal it was called, but I did not think it was early enough. My boys and I wanted to make a day of it.
We liked the Discovery tent, where we came out a lot smarter than when we went in. We liked the pig races. Whoever knew that a pig could run like the wind? We loved the entertainment rings, the music, the dancing. And then their friends arrived on the scene. Now it’s a party! They all hit the rides, one after another, non-stop. I remember one year the last ride my boys took for the day (I can’t remember what it was, only that it tossed and turned and made me pale just watching it) finished up by going backwards. That did it. Both boys disembarked as white as ghosts, and promptly threw up as soon as we got home. On the front step. I remember when they thought they were too old to be going to the fair with Mom. That was a hard one
I went for a few years to the fair after my boys flew the nest, but it wasn’t the same. I just missed those munchkins’ growing-up years so much. And I had also developed quite the dislike for crowds.

for me. Jordan would hide behind the nearest building when he saw someone he knew. It just wasn’t cool, don’t you know, to be seen with your mother at that ripe old age. It was my first inclination that my babies really weren’t my babies anymore. And then came the fateful day when my boys did not go home with me at the day’s end. They were going to spend the night at a friend’s house. It was a lonely walk back to the car. I might have even teared up a bit. (I did.)

My boys, who have been long gone, still get nostalgic about the Durham Fair. It really was the highlight of our year. They’d save their paper route money, in anticipation of the big event, and I’d save, too. The excitement was palpable.
We ate (oh, those blooming onions!) and made our purchases. I always liked the tent that sold crystals and incense. The boys, of course, bought their toys, and patiently (well, maybe not so patiently) waited for that magical hour of 12:00, when they could purchase a bracelet for $10 that gave them unlimited rides until 5.

Many large agricultural fairs, as they have grown, have replaced volunteer management with a paid staff and have struggled to maintain the character of their fair. But the Durham Fair has successfully managed to remain 100 percent volunteerrun and a true agricultural fair. It certainly stands as a monument to the cooperative spirit displayed by all who are involved in this annual fall event. The Durham Fair takes great pride in distributing profits from the fair back to the community through scholarships and support of numerous projects and events.

We come to see the amazing talent that unites us as we savor so many of the delicacies that can be found only in the final week of September. This year, let us also savor the fact that our need for community is greater than ever. According to the Durham Fair website, 2020 represents the fourth time that the fair was cancelled in its history, and not due to war, or storm, but to a pandemic which reminded us that our small town is not immune
Now, it is time for a do-over. Not just to revisit the fair, but also to nurture a sense of togetherness. In the midst of debates about masks, closing of schools, roads being paved, and when Treasure Island will reopen, let us keep those battles outside the gates to the fairground, and appreciate that chance for community to be restored. It’s on these late September mornings, after all, that we all awake to the fried doughinfused air that signals the onset of a tradition unlike any other. A time when we stop making copies, or invoices, or whatever it is that fills our weekdays, to instead making memories that will sustain us in the bleakness of winter.

the outside world challenge our well-being, we can find a place where we are all sheltered from the cacophony and assault of 24-hour news and social media. It’s easy to be stressed when the world feels unsafe, and when the news of the world is in the palm of our hand, but on our sacred weekend, let us remember, the only thing we should be debating is whether to choose sauce, cinnamon sugar, or powdered sugar on our fried dough. Everything else can wait.

I will bring a customer service mindset to the Town Clerk’s office; prioritizing convenience to, and satisfaction of, town residents.
