Ryan Leckey of WNEP-TV has tried his hand at the Skillet Throwing, Outhouse Racing, Zero-Turn Challenge, and Tractor Pulling at the Harford Fair in Susquehanna County.  Who knows what is in store for Ryan this year as he broadcasts live from the fairgrounds Monday, August 19th beginning at 4:30 AM.  Harford Fair proudly welcomes Ryan for the sievenh year to kick off the opening of the fair and to give a rundown of the unique as well as traditional events offered during fair week, August 19-24th.   Each year 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 are highlighted.

Pictured is Ryan Leckey from WNEP-TV will be broadcasting LIVE from the Harford Fair on Monday, August 19th beginning at 4:30 AM.  Ryan will highlight features of the 156th fair.  Last year his interview with fair director Mark Pease kicked off the Zero-Turn Challenge.  Come and be a part of the audience or tune in and watch it at home.  Either way, don’t miss Ryan’s visit to Susquehanna County.

Kurt Aaron will also be doing a  “Does It Really Work?” segment from the fair which will be broadcast on Thursday, August 22nd.  Who knows what item will be tested and, of course, what the results will be, either a thumbs up or a thumbs down.

If you are interested in being a part of a live broadcast, plan to be at the fairgrounds between 4:00 and 6:30 AM on Monday, August 19th.  Yes, that is AM, before breakfast!  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 and hopes to see you at the fair August 19-24th located just off exit 217 of I 81.  Check out the schedule of events on www.HarfordFair.com and Facebook.
