The Unionville Community Fair organizers are thinking outside the box. Of course this year's Fair had to be cancelled, but the Fair board is trying to recreate the experience anyway by holding three "Taste of the Fair" events, all at Foxy Loxy in "downtown" Unionville.
We attended the first one on Aug. 15 and it was a fun event. Lou Mandich of the Last Chance Garage had several of his vintage autos on display. Charlie Brosius, a lifelong mushroom farmer and former Pennsylvania Secretary of Agriculture, played his old-time calliope, which added a cheerful air to the event. Baily's Dairy brought Priscilla, the Jersey cow. Folks were playing horseshoes and corn hole in the field next to Kinloch Woodworking, and families were enjoying Foxy Loxy's delicious ice cream creations.
Two more Saturday events are planned, both from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. at Foxy Loxy. At the Sept. 12 event, there will be a chocolate cake competition and on Oct. 10 there will be an apple-pie contest. Make your own cake or pie and bring it to be judged, just like at the Fair. When we were chatting at the August "Taste," Fair president Bonnie Musser gave me the choice of which one I wanted to judge; I chose the apple pie contest.
