One of my first blogs was
a photo of my friend and writing partner, Andrea Zimmermann, when she received
her just published book, The Great
Danbury State Fair. I was fortunate enough to receive an early copy and
although I never had the opportunity to attend this fair, the stories contained
in this book touched my heart.
I wonder if we will ever
again witness the love and passion of men like George Mortimer Rundle, John
Leahy, C. Irving Jarvis and others who created and carefully managed this
enterprise over its 112 year run.
For anyone who experienced
the magic of fairs during their lifetime, this book is a must read. You can
order a copy through Amazon, the History Press, or from the author, who will send you a signed copy
if you wish.
