The activities will run from Friday evening, July 27, up until Sunday afternoon. Most of the events will take place at Carr Field on Route 57 at the big red barn, located at 47 Sandisfield Road.

 

Festivities kick off at 7:30 p.m. on Friday at the Sandisfield Arts Center with "Rascals and Others," a community theatrical production that dramatizes the "real story" of Sandisfield.  Tickets are $10 for adults and $5 for children 14 and under.  Following the performance, Sandisfiield's own Lewis family, owners of Berkshire Fireworks, will put on a display at Carr Field.

 

On Saturday, July 28 at 9 a.m., local and regional dignitaries, school children, soprano, Jean Atwater-Williams, and the American Legion will lead the community in commemorative speeches, the pledge of allegiance, the singing of the Star Spangled Banner, and the raising of the flags.  Sandisfield resident Rev. Donald Peet will give the invocation.  

 

Following the fair on Saturday, Sandisfield's Fire Department will host a cookout at the American Legion Pavilion followed by a dance featuring Connecticut rockabilly band, Harm's Way.

 

On Sunday, the fair continues with the addition of Yankee Street Rods' Classic Car Show. Some of the many events planned during the weekend include an open house at local farms, walking tour of the New Boston Cemetery, and a Clam River ramble led by the Berkshire Natural Resources Council.
