Wow! A roller coaster and Giant zucchini

Well the fair is next week so all the behind the scenes work to put on this show is happening NOW. Animal pens are being set up, restaurants are being cleaned and shined, sound systems are being tuned up and the grandstand stage is being finished. That new grandstand stage is going to be beautiful.

There are 500 entries in the Fine Arts department. You'll have to make sure to see the great photographs, the fantastic watercolors, the digitally enhance art. The Flower building is an awesome place for this display.

There are entries for the giant zucchini contest......If you entered vegetables and find a contender in your garden this week, you can add it to your entries Sunday afternoon when you bring in your other vegetables. You could have bragging rights for a whole year about the largest zucchini in the capital district!

Oh, I didn't know that the Midway will have Altamont Fair's first ever roller coaster. I think it is called Indy 500 but I'll check on that.

Advance sale tickets are available this week at Hannaford Supermarkets. and there are discount coupons on the website if you are waiting to buy your ticket at the gate.
