Farmers’ Market At The Harford Fair While the Harford Fair offers something for everyone, the main reason for the fair in its earliest beginnings 153 years ago was to feature agriculture. It was held in sheds around the church in Harford. Exhibited that first year were five heads of cabbage each weighing seventeen pounds. The finale was a parade of fifty yoke of oxen around the town. Over the years, that one day event has grown into a six-day fair which remains a celebration of agriculture. A Farmers’ Market will be a first at the Harford Fair this year. The market will give the 65,000 visitors an opportunity to not only see but also purchase and take home some delightful homegrown products from Susquehanna County. The plan is to have the market open from 1:00 to 9:00 p.m. to showcase the products to all fair-goers. In order to make this happen, the fair needs your help in securing local producers to fill the spots in the Farmers’ Market space across from the swine barn. Applications can be obtained at the secretary’s office on the fairgrounds or on the fair website, www.harfordfair.com. The Farmers’ Market is the fair’s way of highlighting locally produced fruits, vegetables, cheese, meat products, and so on. It is also a way to help people of the surrounding area to get connected with local producers and to purchase products year around.

Major To Host Safety Presentation State Rep. Sandra Major (R-Susquehanna/Wayne/Wyoming) will be hosting a safety presentation for truckers and trucking business owners from 1:30 to 4 p.m. on Wednesday, July 14, at the Montrose High School auditorium in Montrose. “Truck traffic in the northeast region continues to grow, especially with the introduction of the Marcellus Shale industry,” said Major. “Due to the influx of truckers, more trucks are being pulled over for inspection and being found not to be in compliance with the state’s Motor Carrier Law. This presentation will provide truckers and trucking business owners with information on how to stay in compliance.” Major said the presentation will focus on truck safety and the posting and bonding of state roads. Participating in the presentation will be Rion Stann, motor carrier enforcement supervisor for the Pennsylvania State Police; and Robert W. Hassel Jr., P.E., maintenance service engineer with PennDOT. For more information, please contact Major’s Montrose district office at (570) 278-3374.
Old Time Fiddlers At Thompson UMC On Friday, July 16, at 8:00 p.m., the Old Time Fiddlers, which will be celebrating over 30 years of performing and promoting the music that is part of our heritage, will be sharing their talents at the Thompson United Methodist Church. Steve Jacobi, Craig Gehrig and Dale Teeple began this group in 1992 and have been performing traditional tunes in concert throughout the tri-state area. Steve has been playing fiddle for 28 years, Craig is well known for his guitar works, and Dale is a master at the piano. Jay Brooks joined the group in 2001 playing the bass. The group, which at times has as many as 25 members playing fiddles, guitars, banjos, bass, clogging, and singing, are from a variety of occupational backgrounds, brought together by the love of music. They will perform a variety of bluegrass, old-time, Western swing, Irish and Scottish tunes. Last summer during their performance, the church had a full house of toe-tapping and hand-clapping people. Tickets will be sold Friday evening and refreshments will be available during intermission. Join the Thompson UMC again this year to enjoy the music of our heritage.
