About the Harvest Fair
The Hopewell Harvest Fair was started in 1987, and was originally sponsored by the Hopewell Business Association. It was held in the area around Princeton Bank (now PNC Bank) at 62 East Broad Street. In 1989 it moved to its current location at the Hopewell Elementary School (except for 1996, when it was held along West Broad Street).
The earlier Hopewell Community Day event was held from 1974 through 1985, and was sponsored by the Hopewell Business Associates. It also was held in the area around PNC Bank.

Harvest Fair and Community Day Almanacs
We have an almost complete collection of Harvest Fair Almanacs from 1987 to 2024, plus a couple pamphlets from the earlier Community Day in the 1980s.
The fun and varied covers often featured designs by local artists.
Explore these in the Pamphlets Collection. All the documents are digitized and searchable – with 37 pamphlets and over 2400 scanned pages.
