During this extremely trying period in all Americans’ lives, it was a welcome and pleasurable diversion to spend several hours at the Westport Harvest Fair last Saturday.

Not having to compete with numerous weekend summer fairs and activities, with uncomfortable weather and too many venues to choose from, the fair drew big crowds. 

Even the entry fee didn’t deter patrons and once inside the fairgrounds and experiencing the entertainment it became obvious that the $10 subsidized some incredibly entertaining performers. Of special note was a trainer with a group of uniquely and impressively performing dogs.  

Some artistic vendors displayed and sold items not necessarily available at other fairs. 

Unlike so many fairs there were activities especially attractive to young children to keep them occupied and willing to remain at the fair for hours.

Hopefully, this fair will be part of Westport’s yearly activities into the future.
