No matter what happens in the Brock impeachment case-one outcome is certain. There's a movement for judicial reform in New Hampshire. Today an independent task force - made up of lawyers, clergy and academics said they will review the workings of the judicial conduct committee. A spokesperson says the timing of the announcement has nothing to do with the impeachment trial. However, it was noted that if Brock not been impeached , the need for a review of the J-C-C would not have been as pressing. The supreme court requested the task force review. |

| DEERFIELD FAIR Return to index of stories... |
Deerfield Fair VO:One of the things that makes the Deerfield Fair so popular is that it has remained close to its agricultural roots. It started in 1876 and hasn't changed all that much since. : They had superintendents for almost all the same things that they do now, you know, for poultry, for animals, for fruits and vegetables, for handy work, for antiques. So, they even in the very first fair were paying tribute to the past.So, it was extremely similar- in a way--the basic structure to what we have today. VO: And the other thing that makes it so popular is its family atmosphere. No alcohol or games of chance, just good old fashion country values and agricultural life on display. : We have cheviettes; we have cordails; we have wool breeds.natural-color wool breeds; we have meat breeds. VO: What can folks expect when they come to the poultry barn? : They can see about 900-1000 birds--geese, ducks, bannoms and standards, turkeys and sometimes we have guinea hens. : These little one's here are all for the pig scramble. : This one here is 246 pounds. It it actually is not a true pumpkin. it is what has come about over timeto be called a pumpkin-squash cross. : The horses are Belgiums. The horses weigh anywheres from 1500 up to.some of them 2700 a piece, and they'll pull.if it's a nice pit that's clean, they'll pull around 10,000 to 10,500--11,000 pounds. VO: When you go to the fair be sure to stop by and visit with Harry Richard who will be glad to sell you a used backhoe or. Chip: How much for this? VO: A John Deere tractor. HR: This one is 25 also. Chip: Twenty-five. Are you willing to dicker? HR: I can. I've been known to trade and dicker. Chip: Uh-huh. So, what's the lowest on this? HR: Well. Chip: $2,000?
