NORTHUMBERLAND-The 2024 edition of the Norwood Fall Fair saw record-breaking, one-day attendance on Saturday, October 12, where 23,718 people came through the gates to enjoy the various attractions, shows and entertainment according to organizers.
Overall, the fair saw its three-day attendance hit 45,524.
This year’s theme, “Country Roads Take Me Home”, celebrated the fair’s agricultural roots with all roads leading home to make memories with family and friends over the Thanksgiving weekend.
“The fair was a tremendous success,” said Paul Quinlan, Norwood Fair General Manager. “We want to thank our fairgoers, exhibitors, vendors and volunteers. Country roads truly take you home to the Norwood Fair – a tradition since 1868.”
This year’s event featured the popular heavy and light horse shows, poultry show, steer show and sale, sheepdog demonstrations, 4-H Beef, Goat and Dairy Calf and Junior Shows, antique tractor display and show, lawnmower races, musical entertainment, vendors, school fair and homecrafts, Antique Classic Car Show and midway. It also featured the new Junior Fair Ambassador Competition, which was a success.
Officials say while this year’s fair is now wrapped up, the countless volunteers who helped make this event a success and reality are now looking ahead to the 2025 edition of the fair.
