Milton Fall Fair

The fair comes to town from September 26th to 28th this year, beginning with Youth Day on Friday. Fair organizers consider Youth Day a special preview of the agricultural aspects of fair for children. It’s a chance for children to learn where their food comes from as the farmland around the town where they live continues to be eaten up by development.

The display areas are packed with entries in various categories from fruits and vegetables, needle-craft, baking and preserves to antiques and collectables and winning examples of flowers and plants. The creative entries might inspire fair goers to tackle similar projects.

Many of the home craft entries come from urban residents who try their hand at making pies from scratch or explore their abilities as photographers, crafters or gardeners. Only the judges are allowed to sample the food items, but there is plenty to eat at the fair including fall fair staples like corndogs, back bacon-on-a-bun, cotton candy, ice cream, candy apples and Beaver Tails.

This year’s fair will feature a classic car show, live entertainment, beer tent, midway, commercial exhibits, vendors and more. It all comes together to make Milton Fall Fair a unique way to celebrate and connect with rural life, with a serving of education and entertainment on the side.
