1. The 67th Middletown Grange Fair
Wed, Aug 12 through Sun, Aug 16, Middletown Grange Fairgrounds, 576 Penns Park Road (between Rts. 413 & 232), Wrightstown, PA 18940
This is Bucks County’s “county fair,” complete with livestock competitions, 4-H Bunny Clubs (and chickens, and gerbils, and lambs, and cows…), John Deere tractors, pig races, amusement rides and funnel cakes. The food is pretty standard fair food (“Get your fried stuff here!”) but the chicken dinner is GOOD. Grange volunteers cook up delicious chickens on a large grill in the back of the Grange Hall, and serve up half chickens with an ear of local corn, local tomatoes, mashed potatoes, biscuit, and a Goodnoe’s ice cream cup. Go to their website to get more information including schedule of events.
