The Idea for the Goshen Country Fair In the late 1940s an idea was brewing in the minds of a few men in Goshen Heights - a hamlet off Rt-3 knows as East Mill-town by the Red Arrow trolley line which ran from 69th Street to West Chester. Their concern was fire protection being four miles from West Chester’s volunteer fire companies.

Conversations started on how to start their own fire company. Many evening they met to discuss the need, progressing in to the how. I have a memory of these discussions in our cellar as my father, George Parry, painted Venetian blind slats! Since this was over 70 years ago, I don’t remember (or never knew) details, but it was decided to hold a fair to raise money to start a Volunteer Fire Company.

The ground where the present Goshen Fire Company is located was donated by Realtor Harry F. Taylor. Then, it’s only use was as a ballfield complete with backstop and benches. Site decided, then dates chosen - 3 days in August to start. Since it was a fundraising event, attractions were “home grown” - penny pitch, milk bottle baseball throw (at backstop!), homemade duck pin challenge, auto shows, lots of farm equipment displays, tractor parade, tug-of-war, and nightly entertainment. The ladies staged an “attic” shoppe and homemade baked goods to sell. The Stafford family manned a popular food stand - in-cluding corn-on-the-cob! Many many volunteers contributed hours to make this event a huge success as they still do to this day to support the Goshen Country Fair. See you at the Fair!

President’s Letter

It is my pleasure to welcome you to the 70th Annual Goshen Country Fair. In the 70 years that the fair

and the fire company have been in existence a lot has changed in the area surrounding these fairgrounds.

One thing that has remained constant is that the community continues to come together to put on the

Goshen Country Fair in an effort to raise funds for the Goshen Fire Company. So I encourage you to come

join us for a good old fashioned fair. I look forward to seeing you.

Ted Harrison IV

Charlie Gracie is one of a diminishing number of rock-n-roll innovators, who continues to actively perform. A native of South Philadelphia, he became the first successful recording star of the “Rock Era” to emerge from that neighborhood. In 1957, Charlie’s ‘Butterfly’ topped the American and British music charts, selling over 3 million copies. His other late fifties big sellers include: ‘Fabulous’, ‘Ninety-Nine Ways’, ‘Wanderin Eyes’ and ‘I Love You So Much It Hurts’. At the height of his fame, Charlie frequently appeared on ‘Dick Clark’s American Bandstand’, ‘The Ed Sullivan Show’, and ‘Alan Freed’s TV Specials’. He headlined shows at the Brooklyn Paramount, the Casino Royale in Washington, The 500 Club in Atlantic City, and Old Connie Mack Stadium in Philadelphia.

Charlie enjoys a strong following at clubs and resorts along the northeast corridor of the U.S. His superb guitar playing elicits the highest of praise from music legends like George Harrison. The ex-Beatle referred to Charlie’s guitar work as ‘brilliant’ in a March 1996 interview with

Billboard Magazine. Paul McCartney paid tribute to Charlie by Recording an updated version of ‘Fabulous’ in his 1999 CD series entitled: “Run Devil Run”. McCartney honored Charlie again that fall by inviting him to the album’s

premiere party in London. The year 2000 found Charlie on the road with Irish blues

rocker, Van Morrison. Van, another Charlie Gracie admirer, commissioned him to open his shows at the Wiltern in Los Angeles and The House of Blues in Las Vegas. A short time later, Graham Nash of Crosby, Stills, Nash and Young fame, declared that Charlie inspired him to a musical career.

It is obvious why Charlie Gracie has lasted the course longer than most. He is an accomplished musician and an exceptional talent - a devoted family man who conducts himself as a gentleman both on stage and off. Come see Charlie Gracie at the fair on Thursday night!

Chester County Lawmen

Since 1995, The Chester County Lawmen have been performing in schools and community events throughout Chester County, PA. We have played in front of thousands of people aging from 1 to 100 years old! The band is comprised of great people from Public Safety in Chester County, PA. Unfortunately, over the past years, we have lost some members of the band, but gained great new ones also! Recently we have expanded our playing to various places in and out of local establishments!

The West Chester Swing Kings, from Chester County Pennsylvania, is a nineteen-piece big band. We have a large repertoire of music from the golden years of the 40’s by such artists as Glenn Miller, Woody Herman, Tommy Dorsey, Count Basie and Duke Ellington; as well as more recent tunes by artists such as James Brown, Brian Setzer, and Big Bad Voodoo Daddy. We play throughout the southeastern Pennsylvania area, and can be seen in concert during the summer months playing at such places as Rose Tree Park, Longwood Gardens, and Belleview State Park in Delaware.

Prior to that, he was a member of Weigelstown Fire Company (Now Dover Township Fire Department) in York County. He has been a firefighter for 50 years and an EMT for 37 years. In operations, he has served as EMS Chief, EMS Assistant Chief, EMS Captain, and EMS Lieutenant. In administration, he has served as Relief Association Treasurer for 25 years. Gary was a Relief Association Board member for most of that time and also during his time as EMS Chief.

Gary is a third generation firefighter. His grandfathers were firefighters; one was a founding member of the Weigelstown Fire Company. His father and uncles were also firefighters, along with his son, sister, brother-in-law, nephews, and cousins. Gary’s daughter, Jill, is a Fire Police Officer with Goshen. His son, Nathan, is an EMT with Uwchlan Ambulance Corp, but started as a firefighter and EMT with Goshen.

Gary shares that one of his favorite memories happened on October 8, 2005, while covering an overnight ambulance shift. He, along with three others, delivered a baby girl four minutes after arriving at the house. Rick Grothmann, Paul Grothmann, and Darlene Walter were the people on the crew.

Gary’s wife, Nancy, has participated in the women’s auxiliary and with the fair. His daughter, Jill, and son, Nathan, have participated on the active crew and with the fair. His daughter-in-law, Ashley, and granddaughter, Olivia, support the family’s participation.

Gary retired in 2018 after programming computers professionally since 1975. He has a BA in Physics and Mathematics from Bloomsburg University.

He would like to thank his wife, Nancy, who has had to deal with the constant interruptions of their lives by emergencies and activities for our community. Gary would also like to thank his children who have followed their family’s ministry.

THE PRESIDENT’S AWARD is given each year to honor a member who continuously supports the Goshen Fire Company. This year’s recipient is Ted Harrison, III.

Ted has been a member of the fire company for 50 years. Back in the day, when requirements were not quite as stringent, he was a firefighter but would also run on ambulance calls. Now that he’s “retired” from

active firefighting, he is Chairman of the Grounds Committee and, with 15 acres, that’s a lot to care for!

Ted’s active service began in 1969 alongside his father, T. Hartley Harrison, Jr., and ended alongside his son, Ted Harrison, IV. In a dozen or so years, his grandson, TJ Harrison, V, will possibly join the ranks. When you are born into the Harrison family, the fire company is in your blood! All of Ted’s children are

members with his son, Ted, as Fair President as well as a firefighter and president of the Relief Association and his daughter, Katie, as Fair Secretary. Emmalyn, his granddaughter, and TJ both love spinning the peach wheel at fair time!

Ted shares that when he first started, he would ride in an open-air Mack pumper with the guys hanging onto the back bar riding on the rear step. In today’s world, no part of that would ever happen!

Ted graduated from Henderson High School and worked for Pepsi driving truck for 34 years. A severe leg injury ended his Pepsi career. He would like to thank his wife, Nancy, for her unconditional love and support over the past 45 years.

FIRE CHIEF’S AWARD is given to a member who has demonstrated outstanding service to the Goshen Fire Company. This year’s

recipient is Alexi G Barnada. Alexi started at the fire company when he was 18. Over

the years he has acquired a fire one certificate and an EMT certificate. He got involved right out of high school to find a positive way to spend his time, to have a positive influence in the community, and because his mother was involved with the company.

Amy Woodward, Alexi’s mother, was involved as an EMT. Later in her career, she became certified as a paramedic. They also spoke about her going for her fire one certificate prior to her passing; but due to her early death she was unable to obtain that certificate.

Alexi is one of five children. He has three sisters and one brother. Unfortunately, his brother also passed early. Alexi is very close with his sisters. His sisters and his father all support his involvement with Goshen Fire Company.

Alexi attended West Chester East High School and Delaware County Community College. He currently works as a police officer and a mechanic. Alexi would like to thank his mother, Amy Woodward, his father, James Woodward, his friend and mentor, Gerry Dinunzio, and everyone that has supported him in the things he has done inside and outside of the fire company.

FIREFIGHTER OF THE YEAR is given to someone who has shown a marked increase in interest and ability during the past year. It is a person willing to increase his knowledge and to be more involved in all aspects of the company. This year’s recipient is Christian Juliana.
