丹伯裡(Danbury)農場及社區博覽會
地方性遺產
您在一餐飯的時間內可以吃下多少份派？於丹伯裡市的熾星農場71號(The
Blazing Star Grange Number 71)所舉辦的吃派比賽是社區博覽會的一部分，這個博覽會自1914年起每年舉辦一次。
您知道Grange是什麼嗎？這是個以家庭為導向的社會組織，它將重心放在農業及郊區生活，而且是農夫們於19世紀時所創立的。Grange這個字源自於「穀粒」(grain)。全國各地都有Grange，一直到了今天，Grange仍與社區服務計劃有關，如：為慈善事業募款及增進大眾對當地議題的瞭解。熾星農場的社區博覽會也包括了現場音樂秀、拍賣、遊行及很多很多的派。
不是住在丹伯裡的所有人都對社區博覽會遊行感興趣。有一年的遊行行列中有兩隻名為艾克(Ike)及麥克(Mike)的大公牛，不久，它們決定它們已經受夠了，所以它們直接離開街道並打道回府。艾克及麥克不想成為遊行的一部分，它們只想要待在它們的穀倉及乾草旁邊！
How much pie can you eat in a single sitting? The Blazing Star Grange Number 71 in Danbury, New Hampshire, has a pie-eating contest as part of its community fair, which has been held annually since 1914.
Do you know what a Grange is? It is a family-oriented, social organization that focuses on agriculture and rural life and was founded by farmers in the 19th century. The word comes from "grain." There are local granges all over the country. Today, granges are involved in community service projects such as raising money for charities and increasing public awareness of local issues. The Blazing Star Grange community fair also includes live music, auctions, a parade -- and a lot of pies.
Not everyone in Danbury gets excited about the community fair parade. One year, two huge oxen, Ike and Mike, were a part of the parade. After a while, they decided they had had enough, so they simply turned off the street and went straight home. Ike and Mike didn't want any part of the parade -- they just wanted their barn and their hay!
