UNIONVILLE: Thank you, Bonnie!

I was delighted to learn that Bonnie Musser of Unionville is the new president of the Unionville Community Fair, a wonderful community tradition that's now in its 95th year. Bonnie has deep roots in the Farm Show: she has attended since she was an infant, her mother and aunt were Harvest Queens, and she served as president for several terms in the 1980s. As a Fair volunteer myself, I can tell you that she spends pretty much the whole weekend at the Fair. Whenever someone has a problem or question, the first response is "Let's find Bonnie."

This year’s event will be held October 4 through 6, and a press release assures us that "in addition to the return of many of the traditional activities, the fair will see the popular wine and beer garden and 5K run return this year. Also in the works is a haunted tent attraction and new animal displays.”
I was surprised to see on social media that some folks claimed they had lived in the area for decades and never knew about the Fair. I'm not quite sure how. I guess they don't read this column, or any local newspaper, and they don't notice the prominent Fair signs and posters all over the area in late September or early October.
