The Friends of the Tunbridge Fair are trying to raise $28,500 for a new metal, telescoping bridge to replace the older wooden one that is structurally unsound and in need of expensive repairs. The new bridge will be wide enough for small motorized carts to travel across and will greatly improve access to parking and open up camping space, which is attractive to non-Fair events that continue to be an important revenue source.
If you can help, please contact the Friends of the Tunbridge Fair about making a tax-deductible donation. Questions can be directed to Nancy Howe at 889-3750 in the evenings.
