The 14th annual fall fair takes place at Anderson Farm Museum Sept. 16 after having been absent since 2019 due first to COVID-19 and then to capital repairs and an archaeological assessment at the Lively facility.

Following this series of events, the Anderson Farm Museum Heritage Society is excited to host the event once again, said Leslee Salo, vice-president of the heritage society and the fall fair’s co-chair.

“Weather permitting, thousands of people will discover something for everyone throughout the 14-acre site,” she said.

The event runs 9:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. Saturday, Sept. 16.

Enjoy a variety of free activities, displays and demonstrations provided by community partners, including children’s activities (including inflatables), a classic and special interest car show, first responders and an introduction to precision sports, such as golf and archery.

Bring a folding chair or blanket to sit on and enjoy live entertainment, including the Sudbury and District Pipe Band, Hillbilly Ramblers, SEVEN + One, Pop Mach!ne, Dual Play, D’n A, Outsider and one of the three Lively District Secondary School bands.

Close to 100 vendors will be set-up, under tents, throughout the site: art/craft/business vendors and community groups, local authors, artists, snack food vendors and a farmers’ market selling fresh produce and value-added products.

Visit members of the Walden Seniors and Pensioners Woodworkers, in their workshop, the Granary: samples of current woodworking projects and items for sale.

Enjoy a hamburger, hot dog or sausage at the barbecue, put on by the woodworkers group, and sponsored by Battistelli’s YIG. All proceeds go to the heritage society’s annual events at Anderson Farm Museum.
