“Grange Fair represents a way of life that we
could use much more of in this country. This high-quality and
engaging video is highly recommended for general collections and
all audiences.” – Cliff Glaviano, Library
Journal
“Like a time warp to a simpler era, The Grange Fair – An
American Tradition depicts a wonderful slice of Americana.” –
John Latchem, Home Media Magazine“Centre County,
PA’s Grange Fair may be the last agricultural fair in America
where farm families literally camp out for a week to showcase
their livestock and produce – and just have some fun.” –
American History
“A colorful
salute to the excitement, emotion and communal energies of this
once-thriving, now disappearing slice of pastoral Americana.”
– Neil Pond, American Profile “The idea of
community is the aspect of the Fair captured most impressively
by the documentary. Regardless of your upbringing you can't help
but wish you were a part of the Grange Fair.” – Erin Clyburn,
The Progressive Farmer
“Presents an honest and inspiring picture of farming life, both
realistic and lyrical. As a film, it is touching, entertaining
and educational. But if it moves a few suburban young people to
investigate 4-H, or a community to support its local small
farms, the film will do more good than most documentaries can
hope to achieve.” – Inanna Arthen, BlogCritics.org
“A touching film with all the tradition and joy of the fair.
Well done.” – Eric Renshaw, CurledUpDVD.com
“A lovely, heartwarming and genuinely innocent documentary about
heartland America. The film is a cornucopia of rich, human
moments. It doesn’t just let you share them, it lets you live
them.” – Doug Pratt, DVDLaser.com
“Running an always interesting 86 minutes, the film takes you to
a real place where “reality TV” never could and by being so rich
and effective, rightly won an Emmy Award for this pleasant
surprise.” – Nicholas Sheffo, FulvueDrive-in.com
“A blue ribbon worthy documentary about tradition where
families return to a campsite handed down from generation to
generation since the turn of the last century. The Grange Fair
is part of the growing up process for future and young
hope-to-be farmers and is also about the very best of the
American spirit.” – TheReviewsPage.com
