I am not native to Pennsylvania so Fair Time has always made me kinda scratch my head. I guess these things are what a small town is all about. The New Holland Parade starts the festivities. It is on October 3rd. Last Saturday, September 22nd, (11 days BEFORE the "event") the streets were beginning to look like this, everyone saving their "spot" with their chairs! Amazingly, they don't get stolen. On October 2, Main street will be shut down, most of the businesses will close and everything will come to a standstill until the fair ends early Sunday morning. They set up all kinds of rides in the streets, venders come from all over and it is a BIG event, even the schools close half day on Friday so everyone can attend. This New Holland fair has been going on for 81 Years!
