CANTERBURY, NH –The 52nd Annual Canterbury Fair will be held in Canterbury Center on Saturday, July 31st from 9am to 4pm rain or shine. Always the last Saturday in July, this year’s Fair features a traditional chicken barbeque, children’s games and farm animals, juried crafts, antiques, and historical exhibits.

Two highlights of this year’s Fair include an exhibit organized by members of the Canterbury Historical Society and the return of the What Not Sale to the roster of items available for purchase. “Out of the Archives: A Canterbury Pictorial” will open in the Elkins Memorial Building on Fair Day. Organized by residents Jan Cote and Pam Jackson, the exhibit will feature artifacts and art not seen by many, according to Bob Scarponi, President of the Canterbury Historical Society.

The What Not Sale features items donated by townspeople. Resident Sally Hayslip answered the call for a volunteer to organize the giant tag sale. “We are thrilled to have our What-Not Sale return to Town Hall after a year’s absence,” said Chris Ennis, Canterbury Fair Chair. “The volunteer spirit in this town and the committee structure of the Fair help keep this wholesome gathering together for the whole family.”

With live music provided by the Bow Junction Band and the Grass Dawgs, Morris dancing, and plenty of activities, the 52nd Canterbury Fair promises to continue a tradition of fun for all ages.
