draft comments
I have a few comments on your draft article: As such I'm not sure this should be moved into the main space just yet. I think I can help you resolve some of these, please feel free to ask my any questions. Adam (Wiki Ed) (talk) 18:24, 27 October 2014 (UTC)
 * Short comments on reference formmating: the DOI link you have for Management control of public and not-for-profit activities, Accounting, Organizations and Society is broken, there's a trailing period in the template. Remove that and it should work fine. The Harvard Education Review article was published as "Community Education: To Reclaim and Transform What Has Been Made Invisible"
 * In general the academic resources seem to be talking about tangentially related things and not the Brooklin Spring Fair itself. A lot of them cover agricultural education, which is an element of the fair, but many of them discuss the general topic and would be more appropriate for an article on farming education.
 * By contrast the remainder of the claims are referenced to links which appear in the external links section. First, what wikipedia calls "external links" are distinct from references (which will often have links in them)--they're supposed to be resources on the topic which wouldn't quite be appropriate for references but might be useful for an interested reader. What we have now are links to the fair's website and some related information. Unfortunately that leaves us in the position of having an article subject with very few reliable sources.
 * I think we should exclude details like pricing or contact information. An encyclopedia should have general information on a subject but for an event or venue it should avoid specific info that's better for a directory or home page.
