If so, come to the Harford Fair on Thursday, August 23rd when Kurt Aaron will be broadcasting live from the fair in Susquehanna County.

Pictured is Kurt Aaron from WNEP-TV who will be broadcasting LIVE from the Harford Fair on Thursday, August 23rd in the afternoon. Come and be a part of the audience or tune in and watch it at home. Either way, don’t miss Kurt’s visit to Susquehanna County.

Harford Fair welcomes WNEP-TV to the fairgrounds each year focusing on different aspects of the fair—from the food, the animals, 4-H, prize-winning baked goods, main arena events, amusements, demonstrations and many, many other favorites at the fair. Past visits to the fair have been made by Julie Sidoni, Tom Clark, Marisa Burke, Kurt Aaron, Sarah Buynovsky, Mike Stevens, and, of course, Ryan Leckey with his very early broadcasting from the fair.

If you are interested in being a part of a live broadcast, plan to be at the fair between 5:00 and 7:00 AM on Monday, August 20th when Ryan Leckey will be trying his hand at the zero-turn lawn mower challenge. He will also be broadcasting with background music by Lenoxville Band who is celebrating its 75th anniversary. Yes, that is AM, before breakfast! Or if that is too early come to the fair on Thursday and join the crowds welcoming WNEP-TV’s Kurt Aaron. Who knows what other TV celebrity you might meet any other day that you are at the fair.

The Harford Fair Board of Directors and staff thank not only WNEP-TV but also all of the other media as well as the newspapers, sponsors, and volunteers who make the fair an annual people-pleaser. Harford Fair appreciates the support and extends a welcome to all fair goers again this year. See you at the fair August 20-25th located just off exit 217 of Interstate 81.
