Warm and dry fall weather meant it was a Dutta Corp. Fair Hill CCI for the record books this year. The leaves hadn’t quite changed as they have in the past, but that didn’t make it any less picturesque.

While the entries were smaller and the crowds a little less, it was a still a good weekend of sport. See all the Chronicle’s Dutta Corp. Fair Hill CCI** and CCI*** coverage. Here are a few of my favorite photos from the weekend…

It’s a bit of a hike, but I always like trekking back to the CCI** coffin because of the beautiful ruins behind it. Here are two-star winners Jennie Brannigan and Stella Artois. Photo by Lindsay Berreth
