… that the Union Agricultural Society, doing business as the World’s Fair:

• is a non-profit 501-c-5 agricultural end educational fair.
• has been supported for infrastructure upgrades through matching grants from the State of Vermont for about 10 years especially for plumbing and electrical.
• provides over $25,000 in premiums, supported by a stipend from the Agency of Agriculture.
• provides free space for volunteer fire department training.
• puts flags up in town for Memorial Day, July 4th and Labor Day.
• donated the library building to the town, a gift valued at $50,000 in 1997.
• contracts with Norwich cadets to work admissions in return for a substantial students training fund.
• recieved the Yankee Editors Choice as one of the best bargins of New England 2010.
• provides a well to service the town offices water supply.
• at the May Workbee, over 50 volunteers helped put siding up on the poultry barn, paint the barn exteriors, expand the swine barn interior and do museum artifact inventory. All this is not only hands-on fair community team work, but helps reduce expenses to keep gate admissions a bargain.
• Randolph Technical Career Center students have helped paint and refurbish the fairground picnic tables and benches, thanks to support from the Friends of the Fair Inc.
• The UAS and Friends of the Tunbridge World’s Fair are raising money to pay for the new seasonal pedestrian bridge linking the fairgrounds to Sherlock’s Field. The ice storm of January 2010 damaged and washed away parts of the old wooden structure. The new bridge will have steel footings and slide out across the First Branch in sections.

The Tunbridge World’s Fair is an agricultural non-profit, and all proceeds go back to the infrastructure, programs and projects on the grounds.
