With New Hampshire's fall fair season upon us, "New England's Oldest 'Family Fair'®" is offering advance-sale, discounted admission tickets for a limited time. Through September 23 only, tickets to the 132nd Deerfield Fair are available for just six dollars, a 25% discount, at (603) 463-7421.

"The fair is a great family bargain," says Deerfield Fair director Alan O'Neal. "Just one low-price ticket gets you into every show and exhibit on the fairgrounds and there are acres of free parking. Free admission for kids 12 and under, plus two dollars off advance tickets and the whole family can go." Retired horse-puller and long-time Deerfield Fair spokesman "Junior" Gardner adds, in his trademark, downeast accent, "you can't hardly afford to stay home!"

The Deerfield Fair runs September 25 through September 28 at the Deerfield Fairgrounds on Route 43 in Deerfield, New Hampshire. A living tribute to the state's rural and farming heritage and a tradition for generations of families, the fair offers horse shows, cattle competitions, sheep herding and 4-H demonstrations, and swine and poultry judging. Fairgoers can cheer on their favorites in tractor and log-cutting contests or enjoy music, magic, puppets and more on the fair's several stages and performance areas.  Another highlight is the crowning of the 2008 Miss Deerfield Fair.

A midway offers exciting amusement park rides for kids of all ages; daily pig scrambles for both children and adults are fun-filled, can't-miss events. Sunday evening, fairgoers can crash the party and join in the fun of the third annual Demolition Derby. And those who wait all year just to sample the terrific and varied fair food will find everything from sausage subs to old-fashioned cotton candy to funnel cake.

"The Deerfield Fair is fun and affordable," says Deerfield Fair Association president Sheryl Bolduc. "Consider what it costs to take a family to a theme park or the movies. But two adults with three kids age 12 or under can enjoy the Deerfield Fair for a total of only $16, including parking, which is free. And with the advance-sale discount now through September 23, that price drops to just $12. The Deerfield Fair offers old-time value that can't
be beat for a day of fun." More information is available at http://www.deerfieldfair.com.
