The Greenfield Hill section of town was still largely agricultural in the mid 1950s when Jim Golias rode his bicycle from his family home in Southport to the annual Grange Fair in a hall at 1873 Hillside Road.<\/p>\n

“It was a very large fair back then and very agricultural. I purchased Bantam chickens, ducks, pigeons and rabbits at the fair and carried them home on my bike,” said Golias, who was about 12 years old then. Now he’s an active member of the Greenfield Hill Grange.<\/p>\n

No livestock will be sold at the grange’s annual fair Saturday, but there will be a lecture on raising chickens, as more people are developing an interest in small-scale backyard agricultural pursuits.<\/p>\n

Also scheduled are other lectures, an exhibit of antique farm tools, pony rides, a tag sale, live music, refreshments, a tea cup auction, and competitions in several categories, including flowers, fruits and vegetables, baking, home canning, photography and arts and crafts. Admission is free.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
