I loved growing up at the Grange Fair and Encampment in Centre Hall. It was a magical place for a child. 1973. #grange #grangefair #grangefairandencampment #encampment #glamping #theoriginalglamping #ferriswheel #ferriswheelphoto #ferriswheelphotos #helicopters #foodstand #foodstands #midway #themidway #walkingthemidway #fairtime #fairgoers #fairgoer #frequentfairgoer #1970s #familyfun #familyouting #funouting #outing #summerouting #summeroutings #vacation #vacations #holiday #holidays

During my youth, the Blanket Stand was always the first game of chance one encountered upon entering the Grange Fair and Encampment in Centre Hall.

As a child, I enjoyed hanging out with my cousins at the Grange Fair in Centre Hall, at the end of every summer.

My favorite part of summer as a child was going to the Grange Fair and Encampment in Centre Hall with my Grandmother and her family. 1973. #grange #grangefair #grangefairs #grangers #encampment #camping #glamping #campout #tent #tenting #tents #rides #amusements #pretzels #candy #cottencandy #gamesofchance #stands #fairgrounds #centrehall #centrecounty #endofsummer #harvest #harvesthome #harvesttime #family

When I was a toddler, we were allowed to climb on all the farm implements displayed at the Grange Fair, as though they were jungle gyms. Or was this "Madmen-esque" memory implanted in me as a screen to cover an alien abduction?

The Grange Fair and Encampment in Centre Hall was my Nana's and my vacation destination at the end of every summer in my childhood.
