Great news everyone! The Hebron Harvest Fair is coming to the Lions Fairground on Route 85, in Hebron, Connecticut. The fair is open Thursday, September 4th through Sunday the 7th. The Hebron Harvest Fair is a fun time for the whole family, consisting of all sorts rides, vendors and other interesting attractions. Some of theses attractions include Antiques Building, Arts and Crafts Building, and the Better Living Building, along with places to look at various farm animals.


According to hebronharvestdfair.org, the Hebron Harvest Fair originated 37 years ago, a small district fair located on donated grounds near the center of Hebron, which bloomed quickly. The small fair that ran for only three days gathered thousands of people and in the years to come, became a large state fair. In 1972, the Hebron Lions club purchased over 70 acres of land that would soon be presented as the Hebron Lions fairgrounds. The fairgrounds and its huge popularity made the Hebron Harvest Fair the fun filled attraction it is today.

Its biggest attraction from the past year was new to the fair. Last year, the first rollercoaster was added to the many rides available. Also, there are always musical performances, free of charge, while the fair is going on. According to courant.com, highly known band America and local rock band Columbia Fields will be playing during the fair. As for this year, other surprises may be in store, you will just have to visit and see.

Good job, Brian. Be careful to keep your tone neutral. We should be reporters, not advertisers. I like that you used 2 sources - not just the fair website.
