description: A history of the Centre County's Grange Fair - arguably the nation's most unigue fair - the only remaining tenting fair in the nation. Over 900 tents and 1600 campers filled with families call the fair home for 10 days each August. Tens of thousands visit the fair each year, and so many want to make tenting a tradition in their family that Grange Fair tents are one of the hottest commodities in the region. Rich with photos of the fair dating back to 1874, the reader will witness the Grange Fair's transformation from a picnic to the 10 day extravaganza it is today. Photos and illustrations bring the past to life. Reminisce about the entertainment, souvenirs, rides, exhibits and farm equipment that are a part of the fair tradition. This is the authoritative history of the Grange Fair, from the 1874 note proposing the idea to the map of the modern day fair - everything you want to know about the fair is here. Full color.
