Welcome to the 36th Anniversary of the
Orange Country Fair

September 18 & 19, 2010

Welcome To The Orange Country Fair Website
1898 - 1912         1975 - 2010

Welcome to the start of the Orange Country Fair. For the Bicentennial celebration for the town of Orange, a small group of people were asked to plan an “Old Tyme Fair.” Our first Fair was in 1975 at Mary L. Tracy School. Two years later we moved to High Plains Community Center. In 1980 we held the Fair at what is now known as the Orange Country Fairgrounds. Over the years we cleared acres of land and built six buildings. In 1992 we built the Farmer’s Museum, in 1993 the Exhibit Hall, in 1999 the Gazebo and permanent Restrooms, in 2004 the Food Pavilion, and in 2007 the Livestock building.

The Connecticut Fair Association first classified our Fair as a Local Fair, then a District Fair. For our thirty fifth year we are now a Major Fair in Connecticut. This was possible because we have very dedicated and loyal Fair committee members, merchants, vendors and friends that make the Fair such a great success.

As always, the Fair plans many events, displays, activities and entertainment for your enjoyment. Our food booth is maintained by many volunteers from Orange and the surrounding towns. We take pride in bringing you a wonderful, educational and family oriented, fun-filled weekend. See you September 19th and 20th!
