GROUPS TO PERFORM<br />
The 205th <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong>, running Sept. 29<br />

the world’s most influential groups in creating the<br />
rock and roll/doo-wop sound will perform on the<br />
Grandstand Stage on Wednesday, Oct. 4, at 7 p.m.<br />
Cornell Gunter’s Coasters, The Drifters, and The<br />
Platters (“Many Voices, One Name”) will perform<br />
some of their top classic songs including “Yakety<br />
Yak,” “Only You,” and “Under the Boardwalk,”<br />
plus many more that helped launch them into the<br />
Rock & Roll Hall of Fame! It’s a free show with fair<br />
admission.<br />
“It’s always fun to have classic groups perform<br />
at the <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong>,” <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> General<br />
Manager James O’Brien said. “However, to have<br />
three iconic groups perform on the same stage on<br />
the same night is going to be extra special.”<br />

TOPSFIELD FAIR TO HOST 5TH ANNUAL HOT DOG EATING CONTEST<br />
Will last year’s record of 10<br />
quarter-pound hot dogs in seven<br />
minutes be broken?<br />
The 205th <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong>, running<br />
Sept. 29 through Oct. 9, is pleased<br />
to announce its 5th annual Hot Dog<br />
Eating Contest, sponsored by the<br />
B’nai B’rith Booth.<br />
The <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> Hot Dog Eating<br />
Contest will be held on Saturday, Sept.<br />
30, at 3 p.m. on the Trianon Stage.<br />
Contestants, who must be over 16<br />
years of age to participate, will have<br />
seven minutes to consume as many<br />
quarter-pound Hebrew National Hot<br />
Dogs (including buns) as they can.<br />
These jumbo-sized hot dogs are twice<br />
the size of standard dogs.<br />
The first 15 people to register beginning<br />
at 2:30 p.m. on the day of<br />
the contest at the Trianon Stage will<br />
participate. Each competitor must<br />
complete an entry form and a waiver<br />
form prior to the deadline for entry.<br />
Contestants can also pre-register online<br />
at https://www.topsfieldfair.org/<br />
event/hot-dog-eating-contest/. There<br />
is no cost to participate.<br />
Each contestant will begin with six<br />
hot dogs with buns. More hot dogs will<br />
be brought to a contestant during the<br />
consumption of the last hot dog. Each<br />
contestant will also begin the contest<br />
with two glasses of water to drink while<br />
consuming the hot dogs. Additional<br />
water is provided as needed.<br />
The winner will receive $205 from the<br />
B’nai B’rith Booth at the <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong>.<br />
Brandon Wood of Warren, Mass., stands as part of his strategy in the fourth annual <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> Hot Dog<br />
Eating Contest at the 2022 <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong>. It paid off, as Wood beat 15 other contestants and set a new record<br />
by eating 10 quarter-pound hot dogs (the equivalent of 20 standard hot dogs) in buns in the allotted<br />
seven-minute time period.<br />

COLD CLIMATE HEAT PUMPS. DECARBONIZE<br />
WITHOUT COMPROMISE!<br />
In cold climates, reliable heating is about more than just comfort-<br />
It’s a necessity. While gas furnaces have traditionally been the<br />
best option for low outdoor temperatures, innovations in gas-free<br />
heating have created new ways to deliver premium performance.<br />
Carrier cold climate heat pumps are a great alternative to<br />
traditional HVAC systems for cold climates, delivering efficiency and<br />
energy savings without compromising comfort.<br />

<strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> Giant Pumpkin Ale.<br />
True North Ale Company has collaborated<br />
with the <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong>,<br />
home of the Giant Pumpkin Weigh<br />
Off, to create <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> Giant<br />
Pumpkin Ale. This beer is brewed<br />
with specialty malts for a rich,<br />
malt-forward sweetness, then dosed<br />
with pumpkin and spiced with cinnamon,<br />
allspice, nutmeg, ginger, and<br />
clove. Sweet, savory, and aromatic<br />
with notes of pumpkin pie and warm<br />
baking spice.<br />
“We partnered with <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong><br />
in 2022 as the exclusive craft beer<br />
provider to the fair’s inaugural Beer<br />
Garden,” True North Ales founder<br />
and Chief of Business Operations<br />
Gary Rogers said. “A pumpkin beer<br />
is the perfect brew for the <strong>Topsfield</strong><br />
<strong>Fair</strong>, as the fair is world-renowned<br />
for its Giant Pumpkin Weigh Off,<br />

Giant Pumpkin Ale<br />
A collaboration with<br />
<strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong>, America’s oldest fair<br />
with three world records and the<br />
world’s first one-ton pumpkin back<br />
in 2012.”<br />
<strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> General Manager<br />
James O’Brien added, “We truly look<br />
forward to greeting guests at the fair’s<br />
Beer Garden with <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong> Giant<br />
Pumpkin Ale, a fall classic. True<br />
North Ales is hyper local, right next<br />
door in Ipswich. The fair has actively<br />
promoted local business interests for<br />
more than 200 years.”<br />
The artwork on the <strong>Topsfield</strong> <strong>Fair</strong><br />
Giant Pumpkin Ale can label was<br />
created by Marblehead artist Amy<br />
Hourihan. Packaged in kegs and<br />
cans, it will be available at the <strong>Topsfield</strong><br />
