"Agriculture is our wisest pursuit, because it will - in the end
contribute most to real wealth, good morals & happiness."
Thomas Jefferson
Every year, for generations now - the New Ross Farmers Association hosts the New Ross Community Fair on the third Friday and Saturday in August. It’s two days filled with community spirit and celebration - complete with something for everyone to enjoy.
From the action packed Horse and Ox Pulling events, to Chainsaw, Hot Saw and Antique Saw competitions – folks come from all over to cheer on their favourites.
They also take in the beauty at the gorgeous Garden Club Flower Show and Christmas Tree Competition, and marvel at the hard work and care the 4-H kids put into their displays.
There’s plenty of children’s activities and handicraft exhibits – you can even try your luck at Bingo and other fair games, plus there's plenty of live local entertainment to enjoy throughout the day and evening too.
Of course no fair would be complete without some tasty home cooking and baked goods too – all of it served up with that famous New Ross hospitality!
