This week’s living Arts, Dining and Entertainment!<br />
<strong>The</strong> World’s Fair begins in Tunbridge, <strong>Sept</strong>. 12<br />
<strong>Sept</strong>. 12-15—TUNBRIDGE—<br />
<strong>The</strong> Tunbridge World’s<br />
Fair has run continuously<br />
since 1867 except in 1918,<br />
due to the great flu epidemic,<br />
and during World<br />
War II.<br />
<strong>The</strong> earliest known<br />
photograph of the fair at<br />
its current location dates<br />
from around 1880. A onemile<br />
race track for the Tunbridge<br />
Trotting Park can be seen near the First Branch of the<br />
White River. Horse racing was extremely popular, and<br />
a grandstand and judge’s stand were soon built. Floral<br />
Hall followed for all the competitive farm arts and<br />
crafts. Later, concessions and amusements moved in<br />
and parking fields to the south of the fairgrounds were<br />
created.<br />
In 1902 after going strong for a good 35 years the fair<br />
incorporated under the Union Agricultural Society,<br />
and as a result, received the 2012 Vermont State Centennial<br />
Award for non-profit businesses.<br />
Today, over 200 years since its inception, the Tunbridge<br />
World’s Fair is still going strong, attracting visitors<br />
from near and far.<br />
Always 10 days after Labor Day, the 1<strong>48</strong>th fair dates<br />
are <strong>Sept</strong>. 12-15, <strong>2019</strong>. For more information visit tunbridgeworldsfair.com.<br />

Thompson, a psychologistmaster,<br />
works with people who<br />
recognize that excess performance<br />
anxiety is keeping them from experiencing<br />
full expression in their<br />
chosen area.<br />
He uses the Masterful Life-<br />
Performance model to empower<br />
them toward experiencing peak<br />
performance in any area of their<br />
lives. He offers personal and group<br />
workshop trainings, guiding<br />
people through a process by which<br />
they identify and increase the<br />
sources of performance confidence,<br />
stimulate their creative<br />
process, and thereby raise the degree<br />
of excellence and enjoyment<br />
in their chosen performance.<br />
Thompson will give musical<br />
examples on his trumpet during<br />
his talk. He studied at Juilliard<br />
School of Music. At 19, he became<br />
