Helderberg Mountain Nationals Car Show

Put May 16 on your calendar for a great day out. The Car Show is returning (check out www.altamontfair.com for entry information. In between seeing great cars, there will be a flea market and refreshment booths....a little something for the whole family. So plan on coming to the fairgrounds on Saturday May 16!

I'm SO excited

The exhibitors guidebook (known previously as the Premium Book) has been posted on the Altamont fair site. I can now plan what to knit and what to grow and where I should be August 11-16. The General Rules and Regulations will be posted soon I'm told. Go check it out and start planning that scarecrow.!

We regret to inform you

The Altamont Fair lost a long time friend when Madeline Karker died this Sunday.

Madeline touched all of us for so many years….. Her warm smile and quick wit made going into the Altamont Fair office a pleasure – even if you had a problem needing solving!
She was the Fair's executive secretary for over 30 years.

Calling hours will be Thursday April 16 from 4:30-8pm at the Fredendall Funeral Home in Altamont.

Our condolences to her family.

DOG MAGIC

Have you heard about the new attraction at the Altamont Fair?

DOG MAGIC, a huge new tent plus outdoor facility devoted to our doggy friends. There will be professional acts, there will be educational possibilities, there will be demonstrations of some of the many things dogs can do. There will be vendors. All in one place on the Fairgrounds.

I'll keep you posted.....
