CANTON/TROY --
TROY
Earlier this month, the Troy Fair board announced that there will be no 2020 Troy Fair.
Though there will be no fair, that does not mean Bradford County residents can not enjoy it at all.
As announced on their Facebook, the board plans to still have the original fair food at the grounds for purchase this week, as of July 28. It will run from 11 a.m. to 8 p.m. daily at the fair grounds.
A list of vendors will be announced on their Facebook shortly. This will be a carry out food event only.

Canton Fire Department has also announced a fair food display at their normal location, next to the fire department social hall and softball fields.
The food will be available for purchase all week starting July 22 through Saturday, July 25, 11 a.m. to 8 p.m., hosted by Sunshine Shows. Proceeds from sales will go to the Canton Fire Department.
“The carnival industry has been hit hard with the shut downs and restrictions. In fact, every carnival/fair has cancelled, so most are setting up at their normal stops to provide carnival food,” said Jodie Bardo, treasurer and fundraising chairperson for the fire department.
On Aug. 22, beginning at 5 p.m., they will have a night for fireworks and food.
“The fire department will have fireman’s food including pizza, hot sausage, catus taters, chicken tenders, fries, nachos, and ice cream treats. We will be having the ever popular dime pitch,” said Bardo. “We are working on the details for the dunk tank.”
Fire prevention will also be set up, along with fire truck rides. The big six wheel will be up and running along with a gun raffle and pull tab tickets. Logan Route will be playing on the stage from 7-10 p.m.
“Fireworks will be at 10 so bring a chair or blanket to sit on the field and watch. We are waiting confirmation today on 673 Cornhole hosting a cornhole tournament. And awaiting confirmation on Sunshine Shows providing games and sweet treats,” said Bardo.
