Throwback Thursday: Topsfield Fair Cock Crowing Contest 2025









Throwback Thursday to the Cock Crowing Contest at the Topsfield Fair 2025 

Earlier this month, I had a great time joining my fellow judges for the Fair’s Annual Cock Crowing Contest — one of the Fair’s most fun and time-honored traditions!

Congratulations to Judge Patton, whose rooster Egg (Ed) Sheeran took home first place with 31 crows, and to Senator Joan B. Lovely, whose talented rooster earned second place with 21 crows!

It’s always a joy to take part in this spirited competition and celebrate the community, creativity, and camaraderie that make the Topsfield Fair such a beloved local tradition.
