The Anderson Farm Fall Fair has grown over the past few years, and according to Gwen Doyle, co-chair of the 2010 fall fair committee, it looks like the fair will be even bigger this year. “We have more arts, crafts, food vendors and displays than ever,” she said. “The participants have doubled this year. By that, I mean the people that are providing the fair.”

The Lively farm will also host more animals in the petting zoos than before, and some new attractions like a farmers market and live entertainment. “It’s exciting that most of the brainstorming ideas we had have been translated into new activities and projects,” Doyle said.

Along with the new sights and sounds, the annual fall fair will also feature a display from the Walden Art Club and the Sudbury Weavers and Spinners. Members of the 2964 Walden Irish Army Cadets will be on hand to keep traffic moving, too.

Doyle said vendors have come from places like Sault Ste. Marie, Massey and Manitoulin Island to participate in the fair. “It’s really a Greater Sudbury event,” she said.

The fair is taking place on Sept. 11 from 10 a.m. until 4 p.m. with an opening ceremony presentation by the Sudbury Pipes and Drums and the Whitefish Lake First Nations Traditional Dancers and Drummers.

Doyle said the fair is free for the whole family to attend. “If you want to go and not spend anything, you’re free to do that,” she said. For more information about the fair, visit www.walden-can.com/anderson_farm_museum.htm
