2009 Bridgewater Fair

Award Winners

The 58th Bridgewater Country Fair was held the weekend of August 21–23.

While a few events — including the big Firemen’s Parade that officially opens the event on Friday night, along with the garden tractor pull, antique tractor pull, pony pull, and pet parade — were washed out this year, most traditional competitions were able to go forward as planned.
