A powerful line of storms raged through Cheshire on Friday, Aug. 18, creating flash flooding situations throughout the area. The inclement weather came and went quickly, diminishing the impact, but still left its mark on areas such as Avon Boulevard and West Main Street.
The centerpiece of the event farm skills competitions. Participants will exhibit works in categories ranging from needlework and sewing, to baking and canning, to arts and crafts,
flowers, and fruits. Fees are 25 cents for youth exhibitors and $1 for adults, with no limits as to how many categories one wishes to enter. These are judged according to a series of standards, though all youth participants will receive ribbons. Items will be put up for an auction, which takes place Sunday evening.
