Brookfield Library Welcomes Author Andrea Zimmermann

From the Brookfield Library:

Join us in welcoming local author, Andrea Zimmermann, for the release of her new book, The Great Danbury State Fair, with a book chat and signing at The Brookfield Library.

The first Danbury Fair was held under a borrowed tent in 1869. Over the next 112 years, the fair expanded to a ten-day event, earning a national reputation for its themed villages, giant figures, grandstand shows and wildly popular stock car races. Under the management of John W. Leahy, the fair retained its great hometown appeal as city dwellers flocked to the fair by the thousands. Venture back to the autumn days of zany ostrich races and Zembruski’s polka music with Andrea Zimmermann as she explores the beloved bygone tradition of the Great Danbury State Fair.

This adult event is FREE and open to the public, including interested children age 10 and over.

Copies of the book will be available for sale and signing!

Registration is greatly appreciated!
