Summer 2010 in Hillsboro: So Much To Do!

Planning Your Summer Activities?

Think about a visit to Hillsborough this summer for one of our three signature events:

The 6th Annual Spring into Summer Faire happens right here in the Center June 12 & 13. Sponsored by the Hillsborough Area Artisans, a group of artists and crafts people that represent just a sampling of the wealth of talent and creativity found in the area, and from surrounding communities.

The Hillsborough Balloon Festival and Fair (Thursday through Sunday, July 8-11) has become a major four day event, including balloon launches, Fireman’s Muster, truck and tractor pulls, Carnival Midway, and new this year a team of Sky Divers.

Our Second Annual Living History Event (Saturday & Sunday, August 21 & 22) offers a chance to interact with period artisans, musicians, reenacts, historical figures, dancers, crafters, children’s activities and more. I’ll be dressed as the earliest pewterers might have been, offering demonstrations through the weekend.

Come for a weekend and explore Hillsborough’s many small town attractions. Feel free to call me for details about best places to stay and other things to do in the area.
