People often ask, what does the Fire Department do with the monies raised at the Stratham Fair? The Stratham Fair is an integral part of the town and continues to put monies into projects meant to improve the quality of life for our town residents. For example, over the past years proceeds have contributed greatly to new bathrooms in 2004 and electrical upgrades at the park in 2006. Approximately $40,000 of fair proceeds contributed to the reconstruction of the David C. Noyes stage in 2003. And finally, fair proceeds, and labor donated by Fire Department members, constructed the new dressing rooms at the stage. Besides these park projects, monies raised at the fair go to helping the Fire Department towards purchasing new fire trucks, fire equipment, training for the firefighters and emergency personnel, etc. At the same time, though, there are many other organizations in town that have booths at the fair that help them raise needed monies to support their fine work. The Stratham Fair is run and staffed with unpaid volunteers, many of whom come from surrounding towns to give of their time to help our community. Stratham Fair Committee members provide all the training you will need. If you can spare just a few hours during the four day event, please give us a call. You will meet many of your neighbors, make new friends and help a worthy cause. To volunteer please call us at 772-4977.

These forward thinking individuals were: Ernest T. Wiggin, Robert S. Berry, Nelson E. Barker, Donald Baker, Rudolph Bume, Elmer Wiggin, James Breslin, Richard G. Scamman, and John P. Cole. They purchased a used 1946 Ford and housed it in the town shed. The Volunteer Fire Department continued to grow and they purchased a second truck, the John Cole, from Amesbury Massachusetts. The John Cole was also housed at the town shed. In 1955, the town shed (a.k.a fire station) burned. In 1956, construction started on the new fire station at the location it stands today. Stratham has been blessed with volunteers dedicated to the idea of “protection to life and property in its broadest sense.” Those who served as fire chief for this group of dedicated men and women were: Ernest T. Wiggin, Robert T. Wiggin, Sr., James I. Scamman, Fred A. Hutton, Sr., Lawrence Dowling, R. Stanley Walker, Jr., Robert A. Cushman, Robert O. Law, R. Stanley Walker, Jr. and the current Fire Chief Rob Cook. Page 8 SVFD 48th Annual Stratham Fair Dedication Dan Whittier Dan is the man that gives the Fair “The Juice”. He makes sure that the electricity (“juice”) goes where it is needed and that it is safely used. Months before the Fair, he can be found at the park, testing and improving all the electrical appliances to his rigid standards. Dan is a man of many talents. He has been actively involved with building, running, and tearing down the Fair infrastructure each year. He also went on to become the Master of Ceremonies for the Miss Stratham Fair Pageant for 8 years. His smiling face and poetic voice helped kept the event lively and entertaining until it retired in 2014. Dan and his lovely wife, Mary Ellen, started working at the Fair with Ken Lanzillo on the admission gates 18 years ago. Later Dan joined the legendary Chicken Barbeque event as a friend and neighbor of the Crow Family. When you pass by the Chicken Barbeque cooking area and yell “CORN”, Dan will look up from his duties as corn cooker and smile and wave hello to you. Congratulations to Dan, our 2015 Stratham Fair Program Book Dedication recipient! Insuring Your Auto, Home, Life & Business Linda R.

The East Kingston Fire Department came over with their chicken racks and showed him how to do it. Since that time, it has always been a Crow Family affair at the Stratham Fair that continues to this day. Dwight did the advertising for the 250th anniversary celebration, and continued it for the Fair for many years thereafter. He and his wife, Ellie, distributed Fair books to the advertisers and went to camp grounds from Dover to Plaistow delivering posters and Fair books. He would grab the Crow children, neighbor children or Boy Scouts and go to Hampton Beach, shopping malls and other retail venues to plaster the area with posters. Dwight could always be found on the fairgrounds ”clucking” at the announcement booth to let people know “It’s 11 a.m. and time to get down to the Chicken Barbeque before it’s all gone”. Dwight was one of the original cornerstones of the Stratham Fair. We all miss him dearly. Barbara Dowling Barbara was one of the original organizers of the SVFD Ladies Auxiliary Sandwich Shoppe at the Fair. For over 25 years, she volunteered tirelessly for the Stratham Fair. She and her husband, Larry, who was a member of the Stratham Volunteer Fire Department and Fire Chief for three years, could be found helping with all sorts of activities at the Fair. Barbara will be missed by all whose lives she touched in our community. Elizabeth Noyes Elizabeth Noyes was one of the people who was a driving force since the very beginning of the Stratham Fair in 1968. She was a partner in the well-coordinated team of Elizabeth and David Noyes. David was President, and Elizabeth was the First Lady of the Stratham Fair. Elizabeth also served as Fair Secretary and Program Book Director for many, many years. Behind every great President is a dedicated and hard-working First Lady. Elizabeth was such a woman. Her early contributions and organization of the Fair Program Book helped make it a lasting piece of history that continues today. Elizabeth was one of the original founders of the Stratham Fair. She will be missed by her extended Fair family. Carolyn Hutton Carolyn Hutton was a lifetime member of the SVFD Ladies Auxiliary. In the early years at our Fair she helped form the legacy Sandwich Shoppe. Carolyn was also a member of the original Disaster Committee team that prepared food and beverages for Fire Department personnel who responded to lengthy emergency calls. Carolyn was married to Fred Hutton Jr., former Stratham Highway Department Agent and long-time SVFD member. They were married for nearly 50 years. Carolyn was known for her soft voice and infectious smile. Her contributions are part of the legacy of Stratham Fair.

Rockingham County 4-H is part of University of New Hampshire Cooperative Extension and helps young people acquire valuable knowledge and life skills through participation in local, county, state, and national programs. We are flexible in offering many opportunities for youth and family participation, including 4-H Clubs, 4-H After-school, short-course, summer, and other enrichment programs to foster positive youth development. You can learn more about what is going on within Rockingham County 4-H by visiting: http://extension.unh.edu/Programs/4-H or by getting in touch with us at the Rockingham County Cooperative Extension 4-H Office: 113 North Rd., Brentwood, NH 03833 or calling 679-5616. At Stratham Fair, you will see the finished results of many 4-H member and volunteer leader efforts. Practical life skills are emphasized in 4-H Youth Development programs with a broad variety of projects and activities for youth to choose from. These include: cooking, rocketry, shooting sports, gardening, raising & showing animals, sewing & textiles, GPS navigation, communications skills, wind power, hiking & environmental stewardship, service-learning, and much more. Many of these projects are displayed in the 4-H building. The 4-H exhibit building was built in 1977 and dedicated to Lynn Garland, upon her retirement as 4-H Extension Educator in 2008. Many 4-H members work on projects related to agriculture and animal husbandry. 4-H animal projects help youth learn responsibility while they care for their household pet or farm animal. At the country fairs across New Hampshire and the United States, 4-H members show their animals, not only as they pursue ribbons and fair premiums, but also as they work to educate other fairgoers about responsible agricultural practices. At the Stratham Fair, 4-H members are evaluated for fitting & show classes on how the animal has been fed, trimmed and cleaned, and how the 4-H member presents the animal in the show ring. In type classes, the animal is evaluated according to breed characteristics. In 1968, Stratham Fair began with dairy and sheep outdoors, and club exhibits in a tent. Beef, poultry, and dog shows were added in 1969. The first swine show was in 1972. Rabbits were added in 1973, dairy goats in 1975, and the state 4-H oxen show came in 1977. Volunteers are always needed to expand our 4-H youth development opportunities. Volunteers in 4-H also learn and develop their potentials, while sharing time and talents with youth.

Cake: 5 tablespoons butter 2 teaspoons vanilla extract ⅓ cup vegetable oil 2¼ cups unbleached all-purpose King Arthur Flour 1 cup sugar 2 teaspoons baking powder 3 large eggs ½ teaspoon baking soda 1 teaspoon salt 1 cup sour cream 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon Filling: ½ cup chopped walnuts ½ cup unbleached all-purpose King Arthur Flour ½ cup chocolate chips 1 teaspoon cinnamon ½ cup sugar 3 tablespoons butter, melted Preheat oven to 350°F. For the cake: In a medium-sized mixing bowl, beat together the butter, oil, and sugar until fluffy. Add the eggs one at a time, beating well after each addition. Add the salt, cinnamon, and vanilla extract and beat until evenly incorporated. In a separate bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, and baking soda. Add the flour mixture to the butter-egg mixture alternately with the sour cream, mixing on slow speed just until blended. For the filling: In a small mixing bowl, combine the nuts, chocolate chips, sugar, flour, cinnamon, and butter. Spoon half of the cake batter into a lightly greased Bundt-style pan. Smooth the batter to level it and sprinkle on two-thirds of the filling. Top with the remaining batter and sprinkle with the remaining filling. Bake the cake in 350°F preheated oven for 45 to 55 minutes until a cake tester inserted in the center comes out clean. Remove the cake from the oven and let it cool in the pan for 15 minutes. Turn out onto a wire rack. Cool completely, sprinkle with confectioner’s sugar before serving.

The most basic of all no-knead loaves, this is a wonderful way to get into yeast-bread baking. The easy stir-together dough rests in your refrigerator till ready to bake. The result? Incredible, crusty artisan-style bread. Ingredients: 3 cups lukewarm water 1 tablespoon salt 62 to 72 cups King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour 12 tablespoons instant yeast The flour/liquid ratio is important in this recipe. If you measure flour by sprinkling it into your measuring cup, then gently sweeping off the excess, use 72 cups. If you measure flour by dipping your cup into the canister, then sweeping off the excess, use 62 cups. Combine all ingredients in a large mixing bowl, or a large (6-quart) food safe container. For first-timers, Alukewarm@ means about 105°F, but don’t stress over getting the temperature exact. Comfortable warm is fine; AOUCH, that’s hot!@ is not. Yeast is a living thing: treat it nicely. Mix and stir everything together to make a very sticky, rough dough. If you have a stand mixer, beat at medium speed with the beater blade for 30 to 60 seconds. If you don’t have a mixer; just stir-stirstir with a big spoon or dough whisk till everything is combined. If you’ve made the dough in a bowl that’s not at least 6-quart capacity, transfer it to a large bowl; it’s going to rise a lot. There’s no need to grease the bowl, you can if you like; it makes it a bit easier to get the dough out when it’s time to bake the bread. Cover the bowl and let the dough rise at room temperature for 2 hours. Then refrigerate for at least 2 hours. When you’re ready to make bread, sprinkle the top of the dough with flour; this will make it easier to grab a hunk. Grease your hands, and pull off about 1/4 of the dough, about the size of a softball or large grapefruit. Plop the sticky dough onto a floured work surface, and round it into a ball. Place the dough on a piece of parchment; or onto a lightly greased or parchment-lined baking sheet. Sift a light coating of flour over the top; this will help keep the dough moist as it rests before baking. Let the dough rise for about 45 to 60 minutes. It won’t appear to rise upwards that much; rather it’ll seem to settle and expand. Preheat your oven (and baking stone if your using one) to 450°F while the dough rests. Place a shallow metal or cast iron pan (not glass, Pyrex, or ceramic) on the lowest oven rack, and have 1 cup of hot water ready to go. When ready to bake, take a sharp knife and slash the bread 2 or 3 times, making a cut about 1/2”deep. The bread may deflate a bit, that’s ok, it’ll pick right up in the hot oven. Place the bread in the oven and carefully pour the 1 cup hot water into the shallow pan on the rack beneath. It’ll bubble and steam; close the oven door quickly. Bake the bread for 25 to 35 minutes, until it’s a deep, golden brown. Remove the bread form oven and cool it on a rack.
