‘The (First) Night Of The Fair’: The Return Of Concord’s Kiwanis Fair

CONCORD, NH — Queue The Smiths’ “Rusholme Ruffians” — the Kiwanis Fair has returned to Concord.

The fair runs through Sunday at the Everett Arena on Loudon Road. The event, which is fun, but also a fundraiser for the Kiwanis Club of Concord, hopes to net between $10,000 and $15,000, according to Ken Georgevits of the Concord Kiwanis Club.

Georgevits said about a dozen volunteers and a quarter of the staff were also volunteering — including Kiwanis members, Zonka Club members, and others. Miller Amusements had worked with the club to provide a great time for everyone, he said.

Georgevits said it was the first time in three years the fair had been held in the city.
