Kimberton Fair rolls into town tomorrow celebrating yet another year of the area’s finest carnival, booming with rides, agricultural and art vendors, and an extreme offering of the best grease-laden festival foods.
Even better, Kimberton Volunteer Fire Company, the organizers and benefactors of the yearly event, host a lineup of notorious events, including log sawing, tractor pulling, baby contests and many baking contests.
Think your competitive edge is a step above the rest? Is it time to brush off grandma’s legendary angel food or apple pie recipes and trot your family’s finest?

The release date for all award-winners is slated for Sun., Aug. 1 at noon to 2 p.m.
And, if the best you can do in the kitchen is speedily devour someone else’s creations, you are in luck. A pie eating contest will be take place Wed., July 28, with the winning title being awarded to the first one to completely eat the entire pie, sans utensils and hands.
