Topsfield Fair Discounts are here!
2016 dates are September 30th to October 10th
It's that time again! I again have discounted tickets for the Fair.
The prices are $8 for admission and 10 RIDES for $24. (1 ticket =1 ride)
Regular admission is $11 weekday and $15 weekend so savings of up to $7!
(Children under 8 with an adult are FREE)
I’m also charging a $1 per order fee. If you go to the fair or most other places for pre-sale they charge 1$ per ticket. (they are $9 each other places- so not charging this per ticket just once per order! )
Every year I end up being short for a myrid of reasons. Math, someone getting extra tickets, someone stating I didn’t give them the right amount etc. So this year I will use that money to cover anything like that. If there is money left over I will use it for some good at DCF. It’s not my goal to make money, but it’s a lot of work…. To lose money J
IMPORTANT: Deadline for tickets is September 26th. It's very difficult for me to run back and forth for last minute tickets. I am happy to take checks made payable to the TOPSFIELD FAIR. These checks won’t be cashed (or even brought to fair) until after Sept 28th, so there is no reason to wait until the last minute!

Free children's items
The Too Cute To Toss event is this weekend and they are offering foster parents any un-sold items that you may need/want
They already have a place for the clothing. So that will not be available but all else will be!
You MUST sign up with me and I will meet you at the door at 5pm. Our time frame is short- 5-6 and you must be able to come then!
Also we would need to make sure the items being taken will not be re-sold or used for profit in any way as our consigners trust in us to find appropriate donation sites.
Let me know!
Thanks!
Carla
Sunday August 28th from 5-6 pm at The Holiday Inn and Suites on Route 1/ 1 Newbury Street in Peabody.
