Summer fairs always have plenty to offer, but one look at the schedule for the Northeast Fair in Pittston Township will show anyone this is no ordinary event.
“There’s just an enormous amount of things going on,” Joe Pupa, marketing chairperson, said, noting the schedule itself could probably fill an entire newspaper page.
The fair, which opened Tuesday, brings educational and agricultural shows, contests of all sorts, food, games, rides, and entertainment, all of which last from the time the gates open until late in the night.
Pupa said the events that pack the schedule are more than just locally based shows and people.
“We’ve got some first-class acts that come in; we’re very fortunate. Many of these guys, like the new Kountry K-9 Show and Buffo the Clown, they travel the whole country. The Ron Diamond hypnotist show that we have can be seen in front of 17,000 at a big fair elsewhere.”
This is the eleventh consecutive year that Ron Diamond will not only perform at the fair but host the Pennsylvania Lottery Community Pavilion. Diamond has an advanced clinical certification and a practice in hypnotherapy, combining his expertise with a sense of humor that makes every show different.
