The Punkintown Fair is back!

To the Editor:
Save the dates: July 21, 22, and 23 — the 78th Annual Punkintown Fair, sponsored by the New Salem Volunteer Fire Department and Auxiliary, is back!  

The Punkintown Fair is a family-oriented event that has been run by the New Salem Volunteer Fire Department in New Salem since 1942. Parking and admission is free. The fair will start at 6 p.m. each night featuring a variety of rides, delicious food, and games for all ages.   

There will be cash raffle prizes of $2,000 for first  prize, $1,000 for second prize, and $500 for third prize. Winners will be drawn closer to the close of the fair on Saturday night (no need to be present to win). There will also be additional prizes added to the drawing this year. 

All proceeds from the fair and raffle will be used to update fire and rescue equipment to provide services to the residents of the district. 

Thank you for your continued support and we look forward to seeing you at the 78th Annual Punkintown Fair!  Be sure to check our website, www.newsalemvfd.org, for additional details and information.
