Littleville Fair returns after pandemic hiatus 3-day fair includes truck pulls, horse and oxen draws, turkey dinner

By Cori Urban
Special to The Republican
here’s big news this summer in Chester: The Littleville Fair is back after last year’s hiatus due to the COVID-19 pandemic. “It feels great” to be planning the fair, said Littleville Fair President Maurice R. Boisseau Sr. “It’s a lot of work, but it’s all worth it in the end … seeing everybody gathered and supporting agriculture.”
Horse and rider competitions and horse pulls are big attractions at the Littleville Fair, which returns this weekend to the Littleville Fairgrounds in Chester. (STEVE SMITH PHOTO)
At 57, he said he has been involved in agriculture his whole life. “I was born on a farm and still farming that farm,” said the co-owner of Moose Meadow Brook Farm in Westfield. A big change at the fair this year is the new 24-foot-by-50foot post and beam building for crafters and exhibitors; they used to set up under tents. The fair will take place tomorrow from 4 to 10 p.m., Saturday from 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. and Sunday from 7 a.m. to 4 p.m. Each day has a full slate of events. Check out the schedule (which is subject to change) online at littlevillefair.com. But here is a sampling of what’s on that schedule: a goulash dinner, oxen draws, a truck pull, bicycle raffles for children, horse and rider competitions, a youth dairy and beef cattle show, a chicken barbecue, a women’s fry pan toss, a hay bale toss, an ATV and side-byside pull, antique tractor pulls, horse pulls, a goat show, a turkey dinner, a BMX performance and a Jack ‘n Jill cross cut saw event. There will be Shriners clowns, face painting, live music, raffles
and contests; new contests are The Flower Box Contest and The Largest Zucchini Contest. Flower boxes can be made in a window box, giant pot, old toolbox or any container. These entries will be placed outdoors throughout the fairgrounds so visitors can see them, and the three top winners will be voted on by fair attendees. Entries in The Largest Zucchini Contest will be weighed and judged with prizes awarded for the top three heavyweights. New activities are important at the fair. “People always want to see something different every year,” Boisseau said. It’s hard for him to name what part of the fair he looks forward to most, but after a little thought he said it’s “seeing all the kids smile.” The Littleville Fair is a nonprofit country fair at the Littleville Fairgrounds, located at 15 Kinnebrook Road in Chester. Admission is $7 for adults; children 12 years and under are admitted for free. For more information, go online to littlevillefair.com.

Plant-based ‘shrimp’ making its mark
C
ONCERNS FOR ANImal welfare and the environmental impact of traditional meat and seafood production continue to drive innovation in the manufacture of plant-based foods. The result is a string of product introductions that promise chefs and restaurant menu designers more options for plant-forward dining. New Wave Foods of Stamford, Connecticut, this spring introduced New Wave Shrimp, a product the company promotes as having the same bite, texture, and ocean taste of real shrimp. Made from a combination of mung bean, seaweed, and other plant-based ingredients, New Wave Shrimp can supposedly be baked, grilled, and fried just like regular shrimp. The company also has a shrimp-in-cocktail-sauce product in the final stages of development. New Wave has, as a longterm objective, the development of plant-protein lobster, scallops, and crabmeat replacements. A Swedish-based company has begun operations here in the U.S. and is now distributing a meat alternative it’s calling PAOW. Made from soy, water, and salt, PAOW is claimed to have superior taste and texture and is available in pre-spiced and neutral versions. The latter permits chefs to introduce their own distinctive flavor profile to the product when they include it in a dish. Finally, a Paris-based startup is currently working to create what it calls a “cruelty-free and lab-grown” alternative to foie gras. Foie gras, the fatty goose liver produced by force-feeding geese, has become an increasingly controversial product worldwide and is now banned in a number of European countries as well as several places here in the U.S. The French start-up, Gourmey, is refining a process that uses stem cells taken from

Majestic Theater reopens doors Theater was shuttered since March 2020 due to COVID-19 pandemic
D
By Keith O’Connor
Special to The Republican
anny Eaton is back where he belongs at his beloved Majestic Theater in West Springfield doing what he does best — producing theater for those who love to be entertained. It’s not like he truly went away, Eaton has been around. But live theater has been sidelined since March 2020 when the nation closed down due to the pandemic. The lights will be turned back on at the Majestic on Saturday with a pre-season production of “The Pitch,” a contemporary drama by Pioneer Valley-based writer Stan Freeman, which runs for three weeks. “We were three weeks into the run of ‘The Pitch’ back in 2020 when the pandemic struck and we had to close our doors. It’s a great play by a local guy and it was well-received when it opened. A lot of audiences were denied the chance to see this wonderful play and now we are happy to bring it back to complete its final three weeks,” Eaton said. The play, written by former Republican reporter Stan Freeman, tells the story of retired sportswriter Roger Pennell who reluctantly agrees to collaborate with a young reporter, Mike Resnick, on the biography of a boyhood friend of Roger’s. That friend, Vernon Peters, was a pitcher who had been languishing on a farm team for the Yankees, but finally got the call that brought him to the mound at Yankee Stadium. Peters threw only one pitch that day, and his career in the Major Leagues abruptly ended. In digging into the story, the young writer discovers a secret at the heart of it all, a secret the older writer fiercely intends to protect. “It’s great to be having our
second go around at the Majestic. Audiences and critics liked the play and as we enter this second phase it’s a thrill because there is no worry about how my play will be received,” Freeman said, adding he had great news to share. “We will be bringing ‘The Pitch’ to Off-Broadway at the Jerry Orbach Theater from Sept. 26 to Nov. 14 with Danny (Eaton) continuing to direct the play,” he said. Eaton noted he is very much looking forward to their new season which officially begins on Sept. 9 with “The Marvelous Wonderetts - Dream On.” “There is a lot of excitement around the theater these days. We just finished four days of auditions and it was so exciting. It’s the first time we’ve held auditions in well over two years, and it was so great to see how excited these actors were to get up on stage once again, even without an audience there. I’m excited to finish up the

run of ‘The Pitch’ and for our new season in September. Much of our core audience is anxious and ready to come back.

3 great, affordable sauvignon blancs
AUVIGNON BLANC somehow seems to do it all. They’re distinct, delicious wines in all the right ways. Instead of being bland and watered down like some white wines (particularly pinot grigios) or over the top like far too many overpriced California chardonnays, most sauvignon blancs have vibrant yet subtle flavors that strike just the right balance between crispness and freshness. Many of them are relatively affordable as well, including a wide range of outstanding ones for under $10 a bottle. Best of all, you can find great ones from nearly every corner of the globe. A few weeks ago, I featured six California sauvignon blancs perfect for summer. In the past, I have raved several times about the bright, crisp, fresh-cut grass flavors of sauvignon blancs from New Zealand, which produces an amazing array of wines for under $10 a bottle. This week, I wanted to highlight sauvignon blancs from several other places that make great ones around the world – South Africa, Chile and France. Each wine featured this week has its own unique flavors. One costs less than $15 a bottle. The other two each cost less than $10 a bottle. Hope

Women in brewing showcased at virtual festival
A
S LONG AS COVID-19 doesn’t start getting worse again (and we have good reason to fear it might), one aspect of society reopening that readers will look forward to is the return of live beer events. But right now those are still pretty much on hold. There are a few small ones here and there, but things like festivals are probably on a lot of “wait and see” lists by organizers. But virtual events are still happening and there is one that I’d like to talk about today: the Hop Culture x YETI Beers With(out) Beards Beer Fest. The idea sprang from Hop
Culture’s head of partnerships, Grace Weitz, who started Beers With(out) Beards as a part of her graduate school thesis capstone work at NYU. Starting in 2018, the project has been a celebration of women in beer, and last year went virtual due to the pandemic. With virus-related issues lingering, the festival will again go the virtual route this year. As regular and longtime readers know, I’ve often championed women in brewing. I’ve always worried that craft brewing, especially in the early days, was becoming a boys’ club of white males. Women and people of color have made great strides in
