Dave King - Danbury Fair

Now available on DVD and MP3! Visit http://www.davekingmusic.com/store to order.

Danbury Fair is a fun and upbeat, yet wistful song that takes a nostalgic look at the Great Danbury State Fair that was held in Danbury, Connecticut from 1869 to 1981. 

The song features Dave King on vocals and all instruments except fiddle which is played by Kurt Baumer, a former Nashville Tour Fiddler who toured with groups including Lonestar, Ricky Lynn Gregg and Brett James.

I love it! Have been in Florida for 28 years now but grew up 15 minutes from the Danbury Fair grounds....Saturday nights at the stock car races rooting for Don LaJoie or Dick Barlow....and we never missed the fair when it came around! I was so sad years ago when I heard they were replacing the fairgrounds with a new mall :(

I'm posting this on my FB as well for all my old high school friends! Great song!

What can I say? Kenny Chesney can only sing, " I Go Back". You have really taken us back. We are going to have to start you a fan club. Can we request this on the radio? Love the video. I am AMAZED!!

@ndmoore5 You "may" be hearing it on KICKS 105 in Danbury. Time will tell...

Where's the sideshow?

I miss the old faor . It ran from 1869 util 1981, endedn I was 8. John Leahy didn''t leave a clause in his will for the fair to continue. It closed forever in 1981 six years after he died. But, I still have memores of the food and the statues and everything

OMG this was fantastic! Zarcone's grinders - we used to eat there because my Dad knew Mr. Zarcone! The year after my Dad died, Mr. Zarcone wouldn't let my mom pay. And Dutch Village - my grandparents would come up every year for the fair and the first place my grandmother always hit was the gingerbread booth there (and she'd ask for extra whipped cream). During high school we'd go to the races there on Saturday nights - Flyin' Freddy Foshay & Chick Stockwell! Thank you for wonderful memories!!

I'd take the Danbury Fair over that stupid mall any day!

[GracieLou4U]

Thanks for the memories. It was so sad to see it made into a shopping mall.
