BY MATT SANDERSON VILLAGER STAFF WRITER BROOKLYN — The 161st Brooklyn Fair maintained a steady pace through midday last Sunday when the heat began to climb. “We’ll take that,” said Rick Hermonot, president of the Windham County Agricultural Society (WCAS). “We had an awesome fair. The weather was perfect. It got a little hot on Sunday.” He said temperatures topped at 93 degrees at the fairgrounds, which may have led to fewer attendees. Hermonot estimated the 2010 fair saw around 95,000 people. “Thursday, Friday and Saturday were per- fect,” he said. “It was chilly at night. People like to eat when it’s chilly. The vendors were happy.” With a 2009 Brooklyn Fair that brought damp weather from a tropical storm, this year’s fair saw mostly low humidity and pleasant temperatures. “Sunday was a little lighter than we had hoped,” added Hermonot about the turnout.

The family area is continuing to grow. We added a donut-on-a-string and pie-eating con- test.” Hermonot added that they received positive feedback with their agricultural showcase this year. Last Friday, Aug. 27, leaders from several Windham County towns received certificates of appreciation from the WCAS and the local non-profit organization The Last Green Valley, in recognition of naming the walking paths of the fairgrounds after every municipality in the county. “Windham County is the heart and soul of the Last Green Valley,” said Lois Bruinooge, spokesperson for The Last Green Valley.
