For much of the last century, Grange fairs were an important part of rural life, an opportunity for isolated farm families to gather to exchange information, showcase livestock and socialize. In addition to possessing some of the trappings of a conventional county fair - agricultural vendors, livestock and produce competitions, food, rides and live performances - the Centre County Grange Fair in Pennsylvania, featured in the Emmy award-winning film, operates likes a small city. It boasts almost a thousand highly coveted residential tents and a fleet of 1,300 recreational vehicles housing thousands of families. Thousands more attend to join family reunions, enjoy the midway and watch competitions. For many participants, the fair and its competitions mark the culmination of months of work raising animals, growing produce, cooking and baking. Produced by Penn State Public Broadcasting and airing nationwide on public television, The Grange Fair - An American Tradition reveals the drama of those final nail-biting moments in which a year of work goes before the judges along with the personal triumphs and disappointments of those who participate in this unique American phenomena.

Could use about 30 minutes shaved off.High points:- Elderly lady who enters like 50+ competitions for her veggies, canning, and needlepoint. Her husband and grandson also rock the house in assisting with her entries.- Chunky kid who beats his brother in the duck contest.Low points:- Another elderly lady who (almost) didn't make it to the shindig, from her retirement apartment down in VA. How did this irritating person get so much screen time? Did she pay for this movie to be made? Unfunny person that you'd avoid at a party...(is there a reason her family moved her 2 states away?...hmmm....okay that's mean) ;^)- Lots of filler that gets tiresome towards the end.Interesting parts:- The Grange Queen - the skinniest person in the movie.- As opposed to the GC, the obesity overall is unreal....but then again, if you've been to a county fair in the past 15+ years, you'll be familiar...ha! I'd be much happier seeing these big people wolfing down some funnel cakes, but you never see that. If you're merely "overweight", you'll feel better about yourself... :^p ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Heartfelt look at a truly American tradition *by G***P on Reviewed in the United States on August 31, 2019* There is something inherently American about the traditional county fair- and this documentary captures the memories people long for when looking back to those special "fair days" days of summers past. "Grange Fair" follows several earnest 4-H kids raising and showing their pigs, chicken and cows, plus we meet a teenage "Dairy Princess," on tour. There are lots of grown-up competitors, too -- along with fair judges, farmers and -- since the entire town goes, plenty of colorful local folks providing commentary. These people share with us, and each other, their old-fashioned values, advice and even a few laughs. Finally, after all the blue ribbons are handed out, everyone starts to pack up and leave the fairgrounds. But this is one viewer who wishes those simpler times and pleasures could stay. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ I loved the sound track and watching the stories develop of ... *by A***Y on Reviewed in the United States on August 30, 2015* I loved the sound track and watching the stories develop of each of the different participants and catagories was so heartwarming. One of the 4H pig farmers girls said "kids now adays take things for granted", this was the best line in the movie but it is not just kids, it is many people of all ages take things for granted; there is very little that demonstrates how valuable developing a skill can be. It is not just about the "place" or the color of your ribbon, though that is fun, it is the time along the way while your are growing, sowing, harvesting and living...those are the real rewards. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/33015938-the-grange-fair-an-american-tradition-dvd](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/33015938-the-grange-fair-an-american-tradition-dvd) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-09-17*
