Amber Rennard President’s Letter It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 70th Annual Goshen Country Fair. In the 70 years that the fair and the fire company have been in existence a lot has changed in the area surrounding these fairgrounds. One thing that has remained constant is that the community continues to come together to put on the Goshen Country Fair in an effort to raise funds for the Goshen Fire Company. So I encourage you to come join us for a good old fashioned fair. I look forward to seeing you. Ted Harrison IV President,Goshen Country Fair The Idea for the Goshen Country Fair In the late 1940s an idea was brewing in the minds of a few men in Goshen Heights - a hamlet off Rt-3 knows as East Mill- town by the Red Arrow trolley line which ran from 69th Street to West Chester. Their concern was fire protection being four miles from West Chester’s volunteer fire companies. Conversations started on how to start their own fire company. Many evening they met to discuss the need, progressing in to the how. I have a memory of these discussions in our cellar as my father, George Parry, painted Venetian blind slats! Since this was over 70 years ago, I don’t remember (or never knew) details, but it was decided to hold a fair to raise money to start a Volunteer Fire Company. The ground where the present Goshen Fire Company is located was donated by Realtor Harry F. Taylor. Then, it’s only use was as a ballfield complete with backstop and benches. Site decided, then dates chosen - 3 days in August to start. Since it was a fundraising event, attractions were “home grown” - penny pitch, milk bottle baseball throw (at backstop!), homemade duck pin challenge, auto shows, lots of farm equipment displays, tractor parade, tug-of-war, and nightly entertainment. The ladies staged an “attic” shoppe and homemade baked goods to sell. The Stafford family manned a popular food stand - in- cluding corn-on-the-cob! Many many volunteers contributed hours to make this event a huge success as they still do to this day to support the Goshen Country Fair. See you at the Fair!
