Well, back when I was a kid, remember the old timers talking about the Tunbridge Fair. Actually it was never very positive. They used to say, you didn't need a ticket to get in as long as you had a pint on your hip and somebody else's wife on your arm.
Actually, it kind of left a lasting impression on me to the point when a few years ago, when Mike Cain mentioned that The Vermont Historical Society was having its Exhibition down at Tunbridge, I secretly had a few concerns as to just what I would find when I got there. Although it was a real rainy day, found it to be a nice little place.
WPTZ Channel 5 has a nice piece on it as well as a video and I guess what I actually heard back when I was a kid, may truly have been what the Tunbridge Fair might have been back then. One of the statements in the article says, it was a little rough back 30 years ago, but they have changed all that.
