An announcement from 1969 of a fair in Fairport should remind you that this year there all kinds of events for you to attend this summer. Neighborhood fairs, fireman’s carnivals, large festivals, etc. all  have many kinds of entertainment both big and small. Summer doesn’t last long enough so get out and enjoy it.

The old newspaper article had a picture of Trio Angelos that was impossible to make out. I got this better picture of this circus act from the Yesterday’s Towns blog. Not sure where he got the picture from.

More Attractions Added To Coming Fair

Enthusiasm is running high as the annual Fairport-Perinton Fair nears its opening date on July 9. More booths and games have been added and several sensational rides added to the many attractions already scheduled.

The internationally renowned Trio Angelos who perform on a 15 foot boardwalk high in the air while on motorcycles will give two free performances daily.

The Fair committee of John Ellis, Carl Welch, Vince Kennelley, Jr. and chairman Ted King have space available for booths for any non-profit organization wishing to participate.

The Fairport merchants are heavy participants in the fair promotion and will provide a boy and girl’s bike each night for a drawing. They will also have at their stores “Kiddie tickets” for a dollar which will permit children to ride all they want on Friday afternoon from 1 to 5 p.m. Stores will also have advance books which provide a $2 value in tickets for one dollar. Watch for signs in participating store windows..

A fireworks display is slated for Friday night and Saturday, the grand parade starting at 7 p.m. and sponsored by the Fairport Fire Department.

The exciting drawing for the 1969 Camaro, courtesy of Hoselton Chevrolet is scheduled as the closing event on Saturday night.
