Great Cambridge Fair DVD |
In the 1970's Bob Raymond, Carleton Foster and Kerry
McKernon put together a narrated slide show of the history of the Great
Cambridge Fair. This year Ken Gottry converted the show to DVD. The photos
and narration depict the fair from when it was moved by J. B. Rice from
Lake Lauderdale to the north edge of the village in 1890 until its demise
shortly after World War II. The floral parade, the airship, the 1890's
auto race with electric cars; it's all here. The DVD concludes with the
attached photo of the bandstand and judges station as most of us remember
the fairgrounds in the 60s.
Order your copy of the DVD now. It makes a perfect gift. The DVD costs $10
plus $1 for shipping and handling. All proceeds go to the CCS Alumni
Scholarship fund. Make your check payable to CCS Alumni Scholarship and
send to:
Great Cambridge Fair DVD

You can also send your requests to Ken Gottry (ken@gottry.com) so he can
begin burning your copy of the DVD. However, all payments should still be
sent to the above address.
[ note ]: this is the same DVD being offered locally through the Cambridge
Historical Society. I am posting this ad on the CCS Alumni website for
those who may not be in the area, or for those who prefer to make their
contribution to the CCS Alumni Scholarship fund.
