Who makes the best Shoo Fly Pie in town? Find out at Lucy Holcombe Memorial Shoo Fly Pie Contest to be held at the Granby Grange Agricultural Fair on Sept. 9 from 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Everyone is invited to show off their baked goods, vegetables, jams, jellies, art or needle work to vie for the blue ribbon and a cash prize. Visit the Calendar/Events page at granbygrange.org for more information. An entry form is coming soon.

This year’s fair will be held at the Granby Grange No. 5 Hall at 212 North Granby Road, across from the Granby Congregational Church. The hall was built as a one-room school house and later served as Granby’s Town Hall. It has been home to Granby Grange No. 5 since 1946.

“We are so excited to welcome the Granby Agricultural Fair and the community back to the Grange Hall for this fun event,” said Ron Cowdrey, president of the Granby Grange. “Agricultural fairs are such an important tradition in New England, and it’s one we’re proud to support.”

All the entries will be on display in the Grange Hall for fairgoers to view. There will also be food, vendors, displays and music. The event is open to the public and there is no cost to attend.
