💛 Thank You to Our Gold Sponsor: Ashlawn Farm Coffee

“The Hamburg Fair is easily THE BEST Lyme community event of the summer! We love how it honors our agricultural roots while bringing friends and neighbors together for fun, friendly competition, and—of course—the absolute best fair food ever!” - Carol Adams

From a small roasting operation on a family farm right here in Lyme to the much-loved Ashlawn Farm Coffee we know today, Carol and her team have never forgotten their local roots.

And they’re always finding something new to bring home. Pictured here, Carol is holding a very special coffee from Thailand. Ashlawn recently won the auction for the #9-ranked coffee in the 2026 Thailand Cup of Excellence.

We’re especially grateful to have Ashlawn Farm Coffee as a Gold Sponsor of the 2026 Hamburg Fair and as part of a Fair tradition that goes back many years.

Thank you, Carol and the entire Ashlawn team, for your continued support of the Hamburg Fair, our community and the small-town magic we all love. ☕️💛

💛 Thank You to our 2026 Gold Sponsor: Lyme Democratic Town Committee

Looking back through photos from over the years, you’ll find plenty of familiar Lyme DTC faces enjoying the Fair, connecting with neighbors and taking part in this community tradition.

“As Chair of the Lyme Democratic Town Committee, being a Gold Sponsor of the Hamburg Fair is one of the easiest decisions we make all year. There’s nowhere else you’ll find our whole community — neighbors, friends, and family — together in one place having so much fun. It’s exactly the kind of ‘get involved’ spirit we believe in, and we’re proud to keep showing up for it year after year. Simply put: Lyme is a special place, and the Hamburg Fair is where that magic really comes alive.”

Their “Get Involved!” message feels right at home at the Hamburg Fair, where showing up, pitching in and connecting with neighbors is all part of the tradition.

Thank you to the Lyme Democratic Town Committee for your ongoing support of the Fair and for being part of the memories over the years.



Stay tuned! More Hamburg Fair 2026 thank-yous to come!

💛 Thank You to Our Gold Sponsor: Reynolds’ Subaru

The Fair may be over, but our thank-yous are far from finished!

And this one goes to some very special longtime friends and neighbors directly across the street, Reynolds’ Subaru.
For generations, the Reynolds family has been part of the Hamburg Fair tradition in ways that go well beyond sponsorship. They’ve served on our Board, pitched in behind the scenes and supported the Fair in countless ways over the years.

Each Fair weekend, their team also clears the dealership lot (moving an entire lot full of cars is no small task!) to make room for Fair parking.

Reynolds’ has even called the Hamburg Fair “our favorite summer neighbor.” The feeling is mutual. 💛

Family-run for six generations and right across the street from the Fairgrounds, Reynolds’ knows a thing or two about tradition. We loved catching up with Hayden Reynolds at the Fair this year, pictured here with Hamburg Fair Board member Bob Cope.

To Hayden, the Reynolds family and the entire Reynolds’ Subaru team, thank you for being such an important part of our Fair tradition and for helping keep the small-town magic alive year after year.

We couldn’t ask for better neighbors. 💛

Congrats to all our Fry Pan Toss contestants and to Valley Shore Women’s Club and their sponsors! Thank you! ♥️
