Cheshire Fair hosting 3-day agricultural event Update: Friday, April 30, 7:24 a.m. The Cheshire Fair will return this August, but as a smaller three-day agricultural event. It was one of several iconic New Hampshire fairs that took last summer off due to the coronavirus pandemic. The event scheduled for Aug. 6-8 will feature many of the traditional fair events, including horse and ox pulls, open farm animal shows, and truck and tractor pulls, according to the fair's announcement yesterday. The midway, however, will be missing from the 2021 Cheshire Fair. The organizers say they are still working on plans to ensure public safety, in concert with public health advisories for the pandemic.
