That’s what i
love mosT
abouT the
Durham FAIR.
In celebration of another successful and amazing year, the 2015 Durham Agricultural Fair’s success was largely due to our dedicated and talented exhibitors. Without our exhibitors we would not enjoy the interest and attendance from our fairgoers who come to see our winning entries year after year. I commend each of you for your dedication and hard work. Your time invested, and the talent displayed at our fair is something our entire community can take pride in. You deserve to be proud of your individual contributions and accomplishments.
Our volunteers and department heads make great efforts to expand our entry categories, review and judge each submission, and give each entry a place to shine… Our exhibitors come through for the fair each and every year – and it is worth taking note of, and extending our sincere appreciation for those that have participated – but in particular, those who have exceeded expectations and earned recognition. This year, in honor of celebrating these accomplishments, we have created a Commemorative Fair Book to showcase our winning exhibitors. We hope this new approach will provide our esteemed winners a sense of accomplishment while motivating others to strive towards an additional goal. We hope you enjoy this token of our appreciation. Keep up the excellent work – and thank you again for making the 2015 Durham Fair another memorable year.

The Durham Fair is not only the largest agricultural fair in Connecticut, but is also 100% run by community volunteers. Fairgoers come for the food, award winning exhibits, animals, rides, and overall – some good, clean, wholesome fun!
The 96th Durham Fair was no exception and did not disappoint. With great weather and an increased interest in advanced ticket sales, we saw fantastic attendance and enjoyed four fun filled days. We even broke the New England record for the largest watermelon (192.5 lbs) and the second heaviest pumpkin in Durham Fair history (1706 lbs). It’s these types of traditions our fairgoers have grown to love and watch for each year.
********The Durham Fair is known for providing stellar musical guests and entertainment. This years headliners included CMA Award Winner, Martina McBride, ICM Award Winner, Craig Morgan, and ACM Award Winner, Confederate Railroad.
With four stages, a variety of musical talents and genres, as well as our local talent show all running throughout the fair – we know our attendees enjoyed a VIP concert experience.

The 2015 Durham Agricultural Fair Association Scholarship had five winning submissions. Each year students are selected based on criteria such as community involvement and scholastic ability. This year, each winner received $5,000 in scholarship funding for a grand total of $25,000 awarded. Congratulations to all our winners!
The Durham Agricultural Fair Association, Inc. of Durham, Connecticut formed the Durham Fair Foundation, Inc. in 1996. The Foundation is organized under the auspices of the Internal Revenue Service as a 501c(3) organization. That means its activities are exclusively charitable, educational, or scientific. The Foundation is a charitable, non-profit organization.
The mission of the Durham Fair Foundation is, “To preserve and promote Connecticut’s agricultural and rural heritage by sponsoring educational events, programs and exhibits”. As part of that mission, the Foundation supports and promotes the Durham Fair Farm Museum, located on the Durham Fairgrounds. The Foundation continues to work to expand the museum so that it may better preserve Durham’s rich agricultural history. To that end, the Foundation was a major contributor to the improvements made to the Museum in 2007. In addition, the Foundation further supported the Durham Fair Association building projects by providing funds for interior exhibit displays.
The Foundation’s Certificate of Incorporation states, in part, that the Foundation, “shall at all times be limited to operating exclusively for the benefit of, performing the functions of, or carrying out the purposes of the Durham Agricultural Fair Association, Inc.” This statement has resulted in the Foundation sponsoring exhibits and demonstrations during fairs as well as seminars at other times, including several in 2015. Past seminars included canning, the growing of giant pumpkins, beekeeping and maple sugaring. The Foundation also acts as the charitable arm of the Durham Fair Association with funds provided by the Association in 1998, 1999, 2006, 2007, 2009, 2010, 2011, 2012, 2014 and 2015.
The Tractor Cruise-In has become the signature event for the Durham Fair Foundation. Antique and modern farm tractors, pedal tractors, and antique trucks assemble on the Fair Grounds in Durham, Connecticut to take part. This family-friendly, fun and educational event is held yearly in August.
