Bridgewater Country Fair — Local services in Bridgewater

Annual county fair with small town feel with livestock and amusements, farmed out to 3rd party amusement company Tufano, that detracts from the small town it’s in. “Americana” is diluted by the traveling fair employees all wearing their company t-shirts. Proceeds from entry go to Volunteer Fire Dept., rides, amusements and foods to Tufano, big sponsor tents like those from local car dealer, and landscaping company all give it a commercial feel.

Been there four times and for good or bad the experience has been identical. They just need to change the date in the programs.

As a town resident I wish there was more of a local presence, beyond the few tents selling baked goods. It just seems like a $$$ suck; would like to see some more ad hoc events that people could participate in, beyond organized events like the tractor racing. Would be nice to see community building events and presence of Town, with proceeds going directly to the Town, instead of just the VFD and Tufano if they’re going to call it the Bridgewater Fair, otherwise call it what it is. This sounds snarky and jaded but there is much more to be desired after attending (paying) more than once. Especially considering it clogs up traffic in town, uses town land, staff, police, etc. I don’t think Norman Rockwell would have anything to paint here.
