Grange comes back this weekend

The 2025 Yorktown Grange Fair marks the beginning of its second century with the theme “Moo-ving Into the Next Century,” a nod to the event’s agricultural heritage.

The annual fair will feature livestock, produce, and floral displays from local farms and growers, as well as a range of entertainment throughout the weekend. Attendees can expect family-friendly performances, live rock and country music, wrestling events, and handmade arts and crafts from local artisans.

The Yorktown Grange Agricultural Society still needs volunteers to organize and staff the fair. There are plenty of opportunities to help with all activities. Visit yorktowngrangefair.org for more.
