PREMIUM BOOK

Well the new premium book is available online. What is a premium book? It states the various competitions at the Altamont Fair and what the rules are for entering these contests. Maybe you have a fabulous chicken (or a wonderful recipe for biscuits.) Your youth group might be interested in constructing a SCARECROW. Or maybe you will have the perfect zinnia in your garden this summer.......Show these off at the 2008 Altamont Fair. I'll talk about how to do all this in another post. so check it out at the Altamont Fair website...linked on the right of your screen.

Grange

Fresh desserts

Remember to check out the Grange Building. There are exhibits entered into competition from local Grange chapters. There are live demonstrations daily, (soapmaking, quilting, beehive making, etc.) and best of all, they make from scratch desserts that are DELICIOUS—and you should go back daily because the desserts change. I am in a rush today but will post some pictures and more specifics. Be sure this is on your fair list.

TOMATO

I am so ready for spring to hit this Albany, Schenectady, Greene County area. The tulips have been gorgeous but my mouth is watering for that first juicy tomato of the season. Tomato sandwiches are my lunch of choice in the summer. Anyway, guess what the Fair has come up with—a competition for the biggest tomato. I’ll find out more details but how big do you think we can grow them around here? I’m dreaming about it now. Will you have the BIG TOMATO of '08?
