The Windsor County Agricultural Fair in Springfield VT, the "Best Little Fair in Vermont", will be featuring a host of local entertainment to delight all ages during the fair dates Saturday July 7 and Sunday July 8.

Not to be missed is a very special Saturday performance by “Vermont’s Own” National Guard 40th Army Band. The band‘s Musical Performance Teams will be performing together in one combined concert. The three ensembles perform very different music. "The Green Mountain Show Band" is the modern version of a Glenn Miller style big band. "The Power of 10" performs rock-n-roll from the '70s to today. Our woodwind quintet, "The Liberty Belles", performs traditional and contemporary chamber music. Come out and see how three unique ensembles entertain as separate groups and combine for a unified sound. Don't miss this rare appearance in our area!

In addition, performing both days will be Springfield's own classic rock legends THE ILLUSION. Originally formed by high school friends in 1967, three of the original Illusion band members have reunited 40+ years later to entertain their mostly baby boomer audiences who love to rock to the classic rock & roll they grew up with. As their website states, "All of the pop music today has roots in 60’s rock and R&B music. This timeless music appeals to all ages – good music is, well...., just good. Some might think we are living in the past, but so what!"

Also appearing both days will be Buddy the Clown. With balloons, magic, comedy, unicycling, juggling, puppetry, music and much, much more, Buddy the Clown performs for all ages from 1-101! With awards in puppetry, along with his 222+ balloon repertoire, Buddy has become one of the best known entertainers in Vermont and New Hampshire. Kids are drawn to his silliness, and his fun appearance, while adults are in awe over his talent and skills.
