Organizers said Friday afternoon that the Civil War fair will go on as scheduled Saturday afternoon in Ballard Park.
“The weather forecast seems to be improving steadily, so we have made the big decision,” said Mary Rindfleisch of the Ridgefield Library, one of the organizations behind the “Ridgefield Remembers the Civil War” series that culminates in the Soldier’s Fair.
The event is scheduled from 1 to 4:30 and will feature a battle re-enactment, children’s games, exhibits, and music from the era.
This year marks the first time in 50 years the town has honored those who fought in the Civil War.
Actors will be portraying several historical figures, including Eddie Pickett, Henry Keeler, Edward Knox, John Jarvis, Phineas Lounsbury, Jacob Dauchy and Hiram Davis.
Admission is free.
