Perform on stage at the Hamburg Fair!!
Calling all youth singers in Lyme/Old Lyme! Steve Roslonek of SteveSongs, on air host of PBSKids Television, will be performing at the Fair and he needs YOUR help! Come to a one-day rehearsal at LYSB to learn some of Steve’s best-known numbers, and the Hamburg Fair Song. No previous experience is necessary. For all ages, t-shirt included. FREE!

During the summer of 2022, LYSB collaborated with The Hamburg Fair to commission a song from Steve Roslonek’s SteveSongs, the host of PBSKids.  Local youth met with Steve at LYSB to brainstorm and write the song during the week preceding the Fair.  The kids included their favorite rides, foods, and memories of the beloved Hamburg Fair, which had been cancelled for two summers during the pandemic.  The program culminated on Saturday during the Fair when the kids, wearing their Fair tshirts, performed their song with Steve on stage before a packed crowd of smiling family, friends, and fairgoers under the tent.  Congratulations to our young songwriters who created something very special that will be celebrated and performed for years to come.

The Hamburg Fair Song

Cotton Candy bright lights
The dizzy dinosaur ride
Ferris wheel, super slide
Ring toss, fun house, chicken that is fried
They got bean bags you can throw, Win some prizes to take home,
Ride a pony, eat fried dough
Listen to the music are you ready for the show

The Hamburg Fair is Back and
Better than it was before
Try the rides enjoy a snack like
Fried dough or kettle corn
It’s coming soon and We can’t wait
We know it will be great
Because the Hamburg Fair is Back

Vegetable and Photo Art
Come and Race an RC Car
Throw a ball in a cup with a fish
And win what you wish if what you wish is a fish

Pet a donkey Feed a bunny
Watching the Dunk Tank is really Funny
Win a contest and earn some money
In the day or at night if it’s rainy or it’s sunny

The Hamburg Fair is Back and
Better than it was before
Try the rides enjoy a snack like
Fried dough or kettle corn
It’s coming soon and We can’t wait
We know it will be great
Because the Hamburg Fair is Back

The Hamburg Fair is Back and
Better than it was before
Try the rides enjoy a snack like
Fried dough or kettle corn
It’s been so long and We can’t wait
We know it will be great
Because the Hamburg Fair is Back
