PERU FAIR TO RETURN IN SEPTEMBER
You just can't keep a good pig down. By popular acclaim, the Peru Fair returns on Saturday, September 29th, 2007, from 9am to 4pm in historic Peru. Once again, fiddle music will fill the air as young and old throng the street of Peru, savoring the delicious treats, local crafts, and old-time excitement that is the Peru Fair. This is the 26thinstallment of the annual shindig, and Peruvians are proud to welcome the Fair back to Main Street after a three-year hiatus.
Fittingly, for this Chinese Year of the Pig, the Peru Fair will once again feature the legendary Pig Roast. The Fair will kick off with the traditional parade, featuring cheerleaders, farm wagons, and many animals, including the new March of the Porkers. Approximately a dozen entertainers are already booked for the new main stage venue, including local favorites the Rusty Pickup Band and Gypsy Reel. Cloggers and dancers will make merry, and children too will entertain, as part of the new Youth Arts Festival. Over 60 crafters will display their wares.
A donation of $3 per person is suggested at the gate. No parking is available at the Fair; instead, parking will be provided at Bromley Mountain, and shuttle service to the Fair will be provided. All proceeds will benefit the Peru Scholarship Fund.
Dozens of Peru's finest are working hard to make this edition a Fair to remember. Mark the date now, they say, and they'll save you a spot at the feast. Meet you at the Fair!
