To the editor:

The Sheffield Fair is back! Taking place on Saturday, September 10 from 11 a.m.-4 p.m., it’s a wonderful family-friendly event known for attracting multi-generational families and people of all ages. Held at the Sheffield Town Park, off Miller Avenue, everything is free except for food or vendor items. No admission or parking fees; constant entertainment under the big tent; games and prizes under the game tent sponsored by the Bushnell-Sage Library, and the children’s tent will have arts & crafts, face painting, reptiles, Bowie the Clown, and more entertainers.

Lots of vendors with goods for sale and numerous nonprofits to share information. Free ice-cream sandwiches to the first 360 attendees, hayrides, and lots of animals. Fully accessible. Come spend the day with us – hope to see you there.
