The North Haverhill FairIs Coming To Town Soon
For the fair, it has been a long, successful, community-themed road since the first fair was held as a one-day event in 1944 in Rintha Nutter's field and the village area of North Haverhill. The Pink Granite Grange, located in the area of the present VFW Hall, the old Town Clerk's office, and the church, had for years sponsored an annual ag exhibit for the fall harvest.
LAST WEEKEND, THE FANELLI FAMILY WAS BACK IN TOWN AS PART OF THE NORTH HAVERHILL FAIR.
During those early years, around 1982, I recall Fanelli Amusements coming to the fair and setting up their array of different rides and amusements. The company leader at that time was Mr. Jack Fanelli (whose father had set up the company many years earlier), who roamed the midway and other areas, making sure everything was operating safely, that things were going smoothly and that everyone was having a good time.
