HEBRON FAIR
continued from page 1
With the amount of traction the Hebron Fair has gained over the years, people from all over know about it. “It’s been amazing,” York said. “People really know about it, and it’s such an enjoy- able experience for everyone.”
When asked about the plan- ning that goes into the monu- mental event for the community, York told me that planning be- gins in February. “We have a lot of people that help us out from the church and the community, and as a result, it comes off beau- tifully.” With all of the planning and effort that goes into such a big event, a reliable team is the best way to kick off a successful event! With 2022 being the 70th year, there clearly have been a lot of hardworking people putting in the effort to make sure the He- bron Fair goes smoothly.

PLYMOUTH – Little Libraries are common around New Hampshire these days where cutely crafted, glass-door boxes on a post encourage people in their neighborhood or community to “take a book, leave a book.” However, with so many of those little libraries popping up, Plymouth Congregational Church found a new use for theirs. What began as their Little Library has now become a “Little Pantry.” Rather than books, people can drop off one or two canned goods or other nonperishable items in their pantry, or pick up something they or their family may need. The Little Pantry is located outside the church on the Plymouth Town Common, easily accessible to all in need of those willing to help. Please do not overfill the pantry, however. Excess items can always be dropped off at the PACC Food Pantry on South Main Street in downtown Plymouth. PHOTO DONNA RHODES
With about 78 vendors com- ing, there will be adequate space between all of them so people
can enjoy what the Hebron Fair has to offer. Vendors come from all over New England to share their authentic goods with the community. York tells me that they’re also shooting to get some food trucks and ice cream for the visitors as well. So even with the usual four to five thousand people coming through, there’s something for everyone. In addi- tion, they’re working on getting live entertainment for the day as well as trying to bring back the legendary helicopter rides they had last year. Once again, peo- ple of the community will see colorful canopies of craft, art, and food vendors on the Hebron Common at the North end of Newfound Lake. The event is open to the public, and if people feel more comfortable wearing masks, they are encouraged to do
so, but masks are not required for the Hebron Fair.
The Hebron Fair is a fund- raiser for the United Congrega- tional Church. “It really is great for the church and better for the community,” York said. A mon- umental event indeed. The He- bron Fair has become a staple in the Newfound community, and people are not strangers to the fun activities it has to offer. So mark your calendars for July 30th because summer will be in full swing by then, and what bet- ter way to enjoy a hot summer day than at the Hebron Fair?
