33rd annual Fair June 20 - 25 at Schnecksville Fire Company

“We Have Good Things Growing” is the theme for the 2016 annual Schnecksville Community Fair to be held on the grounds of the Schnecksville Fire Company June 20 - 25.

There will be amusement rides, entertainment, food and exhibits. The 33rd Annual Schnecksville Community Fair opens at 5 p.m. June 20 - 24 and at 3 p.m. June 25. Mechanical rides are included with admission. Senior Citizen admission is available June 20 - 25.

Here are highlights of this year’s fair:

Agriculture:Agriculture plays a big part in the 2016 edition of the fair. More than 175 different breeds of animals will be present for judging and at 6 p.m. each day of the fair, a different species will be shown in the 4-H Pavilion. Youth learn responsibility and caring as they feed, train and groom their animals.

Competitive and Educational Exhibits:More than 600 exhibitors have found out that it is both fun and profitable to exhibit their achievements at the fair. Everything from baked and canned goods to sewing, quilting and artwork is eligible for prizes. Competitive and educational exhibits are displayed in the main fire hall building. Pre-registration is encouraged. It is not too late to enter. Call 610-762-8115. Check out the Premium (prize) catalog online at schneckvillefair.com

Commercial displays:Trucks, pet supplies, sunrooms and candles are some of the products that will be showcased at the fair this year. More than 50 vendors will have products for sale.

Food:You’ll find favorites like cotton candy, fresh cut French fries, hand-squeezed lemonade, hot sausage, and funnel cakes, to name a few. There are 20 food stands plus the Fire Company Cafe which features full meals with daily specials.

Entertainment:It ranges from an agriculture-based magic show, “Agri-Cadabra”; to “Hansen’s Spectacular Acrobatic Sensations”; “Masters of the Chainsaw,” with six carvers, and the Brad Matchett comic hypnotist show.

For the younger crowd, the “Wanna Be a Farmer” tent will be in operation with its agriculture education theme and 4-H will again have its barnyard zoo.
