Featuring performances by FreakShow Deluxe's own Rev. Tommy Gunn as the esteemed "Professor Thompson S. Gunn." Your Reverend will perform his signature dangerous acts in a historical context alongside other phenominal performers, artisans and craftsmen who will help take you back in time to see that the 'good ole days' were nothing of the kind.

Check out these couple of quotes that describe the Fair exactly:

“The Fair is a lively weekend full of living history, re-enactment and hands-on experience designed to take visitors back to the days when Ohio was still wild, rough and dangerous terrain. It pays homage to a time long before anyone could have imagined the cars and interstate highways bringing some 15,000 people every Labor Day weekend to George Rogers Clark Park west of Springfield, where they can meet the 600 to 700 costumed history-lovers who put on an event unlike anything else in the state." - OhioMagazine

"Events like The Fair at New Boston become more important as schools either dilute or eliminate American history from curriculum... If children are going to learn about our heritage, it will be at quality events like the Fair at New Boston were we work hard at accuracy and authenticity." - Dayton Daily
