Instead of laying out a grid of a square mile or more given to that one annual event, where tractors and plows huff by pedestrians, New England has many local fairs. Often they are not even called a fair. Waters Farm in West Sutton, the Woodstock Fair in Connecticut, the Spencer Fair, are all such events. The Waters Farm event is, however, unique. Few other places have a spread overlooking a lake enclosed by a forest, giving a picture-postcard effect of breath-taking beauty. Nor an historic house that has centered the farm for two and a half centuries, nor a specific family associated with that house and that farm for centuries. It was only a matter of calling on the neighbors to get the first fair going 29 years ago. It turned out the real thing was right there in Sutton and in surrounding towns.

Mialma and Helen Jenckes, daughters of Edward Jenckes, who owned the Jenckes Store for decades, and who lived most of their lives in a second floor apartment of the sprawling store on Main and Depot street, were por- trayed by Veronica Tetreault and Patricia McNulty, who dressed appropriately for the occasion. Two stages anchored the area of the town “fair.” Starting at 9 a.m. on the stage near the Post Office was the Douglas High School Band, followed by the Blackstone Valley Young Marines and the Douglas High School Chorus. Meanwhile, Blackstone Valley Robots gave an interesting exhibi- tion ay 10 a.m. on the stage near the Jenckes Store.

Cathy’s Clown, a Worcester group of nine members, delighted that crowd and plenty more with their perfectly harmo- nized rendition of “oldies” from before the Beatles at the start of Rock ’n’ Roll, when The Ronettes, for example, were popular.

Kia Optima Changes for 2009, Which Makes the 2008 Ripe for a Good Value

BY KEITH GRIFFIN

Manufacturers treat automotive journalists just like they do regular customers. They push metal towards us that is soon to be obso- lete, just hoping we’ll give it one more plug before it is relegated to the remainder rack. Such was the case recently with the Nissan Maxima. In July, Nissan delivered a 2008 model to my door after the ’09 models were on sale. Then, this past week, Kia delivered a 2008 Optima to my door. Now, in Kia’s defense, the 09 Optima doesn’t go on sale for at least a couple of weeks. (Not even Kia can say definitively when it goes on sale, which kind of cracks me up.) So, I’m not going to call this a new car review. This is more like a used car review. After all, the The Kia Optima is the ultimate non-descript sedan, but it’s a good value. model I drove, a 2.4-liter, four- cylinder, EX trim level had about about $200 a year in fuel costs. cent increase over the previous- assist system, but Kia charges 10,600 miles on it.
