As many of you have noticed, security gates were recently installed at the Broad Street Gate entrance of the Fairgrounds. These gates were installed to keep unwanted traffic inside the Fairgrounds after dark. Our groundskeeper had been seeing an increase in vandalism at the Fairgrounds during the overnight hours. The primary reason the gates were installed was to discourage unwelcomed visitors to the Fairgrounds at night and put a stop to some of the needless vandalism that has been occurring. Please note the Broad Street gates will close at dusk and open at dawn daily, much like many local public parks. The Fairfield County Senior Fairboard certainly welcomes and encourages individuals to use the historic grounds for walking, running and dog walking during daylight hours.
