Correspondence 1980’s

For over 200 years that the Topsfield Fair has been operating, there has been a number of notices given by the public and even state and local officials. Some have been ‘thank you’ notes, awards and more and we have preserved these letters as a way of communication. We take great pride in the history behind these letters and they remain an important part of the Essex Agricultural Society history.

The 80’s began some of our most traditional aspects of the Topsfield Fair. Some of these included adding vendors to “Joy Town,” which we now call “Kiddie Land,” beginning dairy promotion in the Cattle building, and hosting field trips for elementary students (Tri-Town students only). General Manager Paul Corson also joined the Fair family starting in 1980.  We take pride in the history behind these letters as they are an important part of the society history.
