Ever been to a Grange fair? Me either. Sounds like a lot of fun though.
Inecom Entertainment Company announced today that preorders for its new Emmy award-winning film, The Grange Fair – An American Tradition, are being taken via major Internet retailers such as Amazon.com. The DVD will also be available in stores nationwide on Tuesday, February 19, 2008.
The Grange Fair – An American Tradition captures a vanishing piece of Americana – one of the last remaining agricultural encampment Grange fairs in the country.
For much of the last century, Grange fairs were an important part of rural life, an opportunity for isolated farm families to gather to exchange information, showcase livestock and socialize. In addition to possessing some of the trappings of a conventional county fair – agricultural vendors, livestock and produce competitions, food, rides and live performances – the Grange Fair featured in the film, operates likes a small city. It boasts almost a thousand highly coveted residential tents and a fleet of 1,300 recreational vehicles housing thousands of families. Thousands more attend to join family reunions, enjoy the midway and watch competitions.
