25 Annual Little Folks Fair - Community Nursery School's Annual Little Folks Fair is the social event of the year for kids. The time honored family event takes place on the historic town green. Come enjoy a trackless train, a circus arena, petting zoo, crafts, facepainting and moonbounces plus a storyland adventure and winnie the pooh obstacle course. Browse through the treasure chest, a lightly used toy tag sale or find a great deal in the silent auction. Take a break, listen to some live music and fill up on pizza, ice cream and more. Then bring home some delicious homemade baked goods. Lots of fun for the whole family. This volunteer-run fair is Community Nursery School's only fundraiser and proceeds in part benefit the school's financial aid program.
