Connecticut’s Country Fairs 2019 (LAST UPDATED 8/19)
It’s that time of the year again when Connecticut welcomes the summer and fall seasons with carnivals, festivals and fairs in every corner of the state. With tons of activities, entertainment, live music and delicious food, the only difficult choice will be deciding which ones to attend. Take the family to the same fair you went to as a child or check out a new one. Everyone can enjoy observing the animal exhibits up close, seeing an antique tractor pull or livestock show, taking in live music, perusing locally made food and even indulging in a piece (or two) of fried dough. There will also be plenty of opportunities to learn about all the latest developments in farming and agricultural equipment to help make your next John Deere tractor purchase from Fastline an informed choice.
