Thunderstorm opens the fair

Almost like clockwork, heavy rains and a thunderstorm hit just as the Grange Fair opened for the first day.

But it's drying out, and the weather is looking up for the fair which is the best annual event in Centre County in my book.

It's worth a trip this weekend to check it out, and if you're local visit often. There's plenty to see and I'm not mentioning the food options.

The content of our Grange Fair guide can be found on the Penns Valley page online. 

See you at the fair.
