The North Stonington Agricultural Fair is sponsored by the North Stonington Community Grange and the North Stonington Volunteer Fire Department and is known for providing the finest in entertainment, food, and wholesome fun for the entire family.
For many years the Fair has included the Working Farm Draft Horse Show. This year the name has been changed to the Carriage Driving Horse Show and the format will include a variety of driving horses, draft horses, ponies and Very Small Equines (VSE). It will be organized by the Connecticut Valley Driving Club, whose mission is to preserve the tradition of driving horses and carriages. Please join us as we present the general public with a wide variety of driving turnouts and disciplines.
