Dear Southern Vermont Trail Riders,<\/p>\n
My name is Gene Hitchcock.<\/p>\n
I represent the staff of the Windsor County Agricultural Fair. It’s a small,
\n2-day fair that features agriculture, livestock, country living, outdoor
\nactivities, and family fun. This year’s fair is on Saturday and Sunday, July
\n11th & 12th. It will be held in Springfield, VT, at Barlow’s Fields, on
\nEureka Rd. We’re open 10-7 on Saturday and 10-4 on Sunday. Admission is
\n$6.00 for adults and $2.00 for under 12.
\nFree parking, good food, live music, etc. The fair is completely
\nnot-for-profit. Everyone on the staff volunteers their time. All proceeds
\nfrom the fair go right back into the fair’s operational fund.<\/p>\n
I want to let you know about the ATV Obstacle Course we are running as one of
\nour main events at the fair. It will be open to the public.
\nAnyone at least 18 yrs old can ride their own ATV in the competition, helmets
\nare mandatory. Machines don’t have to be registered, since we are on private
\nproperty. We have plenty of parking and a place to unload machines. The
\ncourse will be set up as a timed event. Only one person will go through the
\ncourse at a time (no head-to-head racing). Each rider will get to make
\nseveral runs, and their best single time will be posted. The rider with the
\nfastest time will win. I believe there will several classes to accommodate
\ndifferent sized machines.
\nWinners will receive ribbons, and maybe a trophy.<\/p>\n
We hope to have a good event, and if successful, it will become an annual
\nevent. If you would like to help sponsor the event (donate time, money,
\nprizes, etc., that would be awesome), but we really just want help with
\npublicity. We also rent space at the fair for organizations like yours to
\npromote their agenda. We offer a 10×10 space under one of our tents for
\n$60\/weekend (that includes a 6′ table and chairs). It’s a great deal.<\/p>\n
Keep up the good work, and thanks for your time. Hope I see you at the fair.<\/p>\n
