The Grange Fair is a traditional country fair run annually at this site in Wrightstown, Pa. It has…read moreall the attributes you would expect from a cultural events that has run for more than a century. Livestock displays and competitions, 4H halls full of pies, pickled foods, flower arrangements, and art, with colored ribbons for the winners. In addition, you can buy a tractor, arrange for a home visit by a landscaper or stone mason, and indulge yourself in carney food to your heart's content. For the kids (in each of us), there is a ride area with enough spinning, dipping and diving to upset your stomach for a week. My advice, ride before you eat, or better yet, come twice, once to ride and another visit to eat. The food is what you expect from a greasy country joint. Burgers, Sausage, Franks, Pizza, Ice Cream, and Kettle Korn (my fave). There is usually a beer wagon around that pours out a local brew and leaves a wet trail of suds on the ground. Beware the drunken bees that congregate there. Man, would I love to have some of the Beer Honey that hive puts out! Yes, there are a fair share of Carney barkers and hucksters to enjoy with vigilance, and the local politicians trying hard to find votes by giving out balloons to kids. But, you can ignore that degradation and enjoy everything else. The place is crowded at night when the cooler air invites families to come out for a night of old fashioned entertainment. There is something special about a country fair at night. But, if you prefer to avoid the bigger crowds, arriving in the afternoon allows you a clearer view, and the ability to park and walk through the tents and sheds at an easy pace, when everyone who works there has more time to pay attention to you. Be sure to make time to come up here. The roads around it are jammed in the evening, so give yourself time to wait in line. If you know the roads, it is easier to approach from the north or west. Take out your GPS or paper maps and figure out how to do that. You could save yourself an hour of more in the queue. The Grange Fair is definitely a child memory maker, so be sure to start your kids early and allow them to carry on this wonderful All American tradition.

You can read my previous review for all the specifics of the show. It took me about 2 hours to see everything and I love the pride all the owners exude in both their vehicles, their handy work in many cases, and were just great to talk with. It's very nostalgic and you can get an instant history lesson on the American automobile industry. Really enjoyed the show, nice concession stands and it's for a worthy non profit cause. Highly recommend them!!

Plenty of free parking available and Admission @ $20 for adults and $ 17 for Seniors was fair. So much to see and learn, you literally had to look everywhere, no space was left unused! The staff was helpful and insightful and we learned a lot and were impressed with the collection. Down side was elevators we not working which was OK for us but might have been an issue for others. #2 issue was lack of air conditioning in parts of the building. I highly recommend you take the time to see this!

It was a random visit. A sunny day, a lovely ride, and we ended up in Doylestown, an area that…read morepiques my interest. Had no idea what was in the Mercer and was blown away by what we saw. Henry Mercer, a true renaissance man, built the Mercer Musem to preserve a vast collection of everyday objects from pre-industrial America. Watching a film at the outset -- most people skipped it -- gave us an idea of what was behind the exhibits. Everything is precisely categorized: tools used for meat preparation, tools for dairy production, tools used with fruit ..... (he had a fascination with tools.) In 1911-'12 Mercer built Moravian Pottery and Tile Works. For a period of time he was recognized as the premier maker of artistic tiles. A mile down the road is Fonthill Castle, Mercer's home and showplace for his tiles. Open to the public, but unfortunately closed Saturday because of a wedding. (What a cool place for a wedding!) Both properties are Smithsonian affiliates, operated by the Bucks County Historical Society. If you find yourself in the area, I recommend a visit. (Ladies, wear comfortable flat shoes; there are winding staircases of hard concrete, and I hate to imagine a fall.) After your visit, you might want to keep your car parked in Mercer's lot and walk a few blocks to State and Main Streets. A number of bars and restaurants.

"And thank you for a real good time..." We just LOVE, LOVE,…read moreLOVE Music and Snipes Farm! It's such a hidden gem!! Snipe's Farm is a 200 year old family owned farm in Bucks County surrounded by 150 year old trees on acres and acres of bucolic pasture. When inside you would never know you're just a stones throw from I95 and Route 1! Here's a few reasons why Snipes is so awesome- -Their shows are reasonably priced with early bird online specials. They use Ticket Leap as they have the lowest fees of any ticket distributor. You can pay cash at the gate for a few more dollars day of show. -They're BYO!! Say what?!! The just ask that you not bring glass. We usually get margarita in a bag and bring cups. Many bring rolling coolers and keep their glass in the coolers and just pour into cups as needed. You may NOT walk around with glass beer bottles. -You can BYO food too! -All shows are general admission. Bring your own lawn chairs, blankets, inflatable furniture, even pop up canopies. They do have two large tents for shade already set up on the lawn area. These seats obviously go first. -Children under 12 are FREE with paid adult! IF they do charge for a child for certain events, it's just $5 -Parking is just $5! They strongly encourage carpooling. -The staff is so chill. Very cool older hippies. All very nice. They don't patrol, but won't tolerate any behavior that makes their events not family-friendly. -They have both food and shopping vendors. -The farm is also home to animals and a dog daycare. You would never know this as the concert area does not smell like you're on a farm. They also offer CSA (Community Supported Agriculture) shares and offer show discounts to those signed up for them. Apparently they have the best free range eggs here. Snipe's also host many class trips throughout the year as well as a farm based summer camp you can pay weekly for. We personally LOVE their annual Grateful Dead music Festival called "In & Out Of The Garden We Go"! We have attended for years now and it's something we look forward to every June with our family to kick off the summer festival season. I've been to many, many festivals in my day and this is a truly a great one! It's so incredibly family-friendly. Our girls love it just as much as we do. There are tons of kids of all ages running around barefoot, dancing, playing with balls, hula hoops, and a bubbles. This year we brought beads for the kids, ours and the friend they made to make bracelets. The staff gave out show tee shirts and candy to all the kiddos! The lineup is all terrific local cover bands acts and the music is non-stop. They have a smaller side stage and larger stage next to it. There's no set breaks or dead time for set up or breakdown. The next band is ready to go immediately when the prior band finishes. Oh, and the sound is fantastic! The lights at night are fun too! They have great local vendors selling all sorts of hippie wares from patches and stickers, hand lured soy candles, tie dyes of course, up-cycled goods too. This year they even had someone doing live paintings and selling goods made from recycled Christmas Trees. The food vendors are delicious and often vegan and vegetarian foods although you can certainly bring your own snacks and meals. This specific festival is all weekend long and you can camp right there! People have views of the stage right from their tent or trailer! Very cool! The music will play from 11am-1am the next night (day) non-stop! You really get your money's worth! This year Saturday started with community yoga!! Tickets can be either Fri night, all day Saturday, or a weekend pass which includes camping. We have never camped yet as our schedule just hasn't allowed it but we stay all day Saturday and it's wonderful This festival gives me a sense of what life would be like on a hippie commune back in the 60's. It's so freeing and there's such a great, warm atmosphere. The people are a great crowd. Everyone just gets it. It's such a nice change from the price gouging and big named venues nowadays. Check their website and/or Facebook to see upcoming shows! If you're a regular concert-goer, you must see a show here!

The Star Wars exhibit was very cool. Seemed locally run with knowledgable people in charge. There was a nice variety of collectibles and props on display and even a scavenger hunt with prizes for both children and grownups. It also supports a different charity each year so be sure to ask about that and you can get a coin commemorating it also. Seems like it's an annual exhibit so I'll be sure to check it out again next year!

As I approached the covered front patio there were folks on the chairs after their visit just enjoying the cool breeze and contemplating their visit together. You are in the historic Boone Farm after all. It seems fitting. Welcoming. Make your way to the front desk -at your left. You can get some good information . Get your map. Lots to see even there. A huge Selma Burk relief sculpture. Seems quite fitting. She represents so much of the story. Her Bucks County connection and historical connection! She designed the dime in your pocket. The museum honors the African American experience and especially locally. You have the opportunity to learn so many precious stories. BIG BEN! William & Daisy Meyers! Local folks! Even Fredrick Douglas came to BucksCounty & 300+ people came to Newtown Hall, to hear him speak. Harriet Tubman came to and through Bucks County. Learn these stories and so much more. It's quite amazing. Today there were oodles of docents. What an opportunity to learn from them some of which are accomplished authors . I spent two hours and I really could have spent more time. Thanks to all the hardworking people who made this museum possible. Past, present and future. Very inspiring in so many ways.

Local artists and businesses host thousands of visitors who come to Shad Fest. This year it was held on April 29 and 30. Locals catch the shad mostly with hooks and line but a historically accurate demonstration with a long net spread by row boat and hauled to shore by arm power is reenacted. The Shad are a nasty tasting fish but many vendors are preparing them blackened or smoked. If you don't care for the taste, move on to the scores of outside concessions on Bridge Street and South Union serving all kinds of great food or one of the fabulous local restaurants. There is entertainment all over town so you should check out www.shadfest.com to see with band is at which venue. We mostly listened to the bands playing on the outdoor stages on North Union Street. While there you can check out the shops as well as the tents on the streets for crafts and fashions. There are a couple of Beer gardens and the town has some super Taverns and pubs. Shad Fest is one of the nicer small town festivals and I recommend that you mark your calendars now for next years event.

There are a bunch of vendors on the streets selling food, ice cream, popcorn, clothes, antiques, and more. We came across some very rude ignorant racist people who were mocking us to "march military style" (referring to us as North Koreans which we're not btw) but aside from that, the festival itself was a good time and I'll still give it 5 stars because I won't let some ignorant low life ruin my time in public. My wife and I explored around town, took plenty of pictures, and had plenty of food and alcohol. Verdict - Shad Fest or no Shad Fest, you should come and visit this part of NJ and New Hope, PA. Food and drinks are all moderately priced and most of all, the food was pretty darn good. There are a lot antique shops and eateries in these 2 towns, you can spend the entire afternoon in New Hope and walk into Lambertville for a visit. The streets are clean, the weather was amazing, and there are some areas that have a very beautiful scenery. And for those who remain prejudice in this country, please broaden your horizons a little bit and perhaps educate yourself during that process. Not every Asian you see in your small town is a brainwashed military nut from the North.
