We need your help!

As part of our historical mission, we work hard every year to make the past come alive for fairgoers. We have a range of museum buildings from Antique Farm Machinery to the Circus Museum. There is a one room school house and a farmhouse (complete with kitchen.) The 1890's Carriage Museum has many of the shops found in Altamont at that time.

Having a live interpreter connects with the fairgoers. We want to explain "Why?" and "How did they do that?"

With your help we can do even more. Do you have stories to tell about life on the farm or being in Grandma's kitchen? Would you like to share how you knit or crochet or bake? We need people to be present in the buildings during Fair week August 11-16, 2009. We are looking for volunteers who will interact with the public and share their enthusiasm and knowledge.

Please contact Father Jeff to offer your time and thoughts
