BIGGEST ZUCCHINI

The sun has finally come out, our gardens are going to grow grow grow. As you are harvesting your vegetable treasures, think about showing them off at the Altamont FAir.

Enter some of the veggies you think will do well, then there is a one time opportunity to add more veggies to your entry. That happens the Sunday (August 9) before the fair.

That is the time to parade your largest zucchini. I've had baseball bat sized ones (and my kids are not squash fans) Can you beat that? Try .....Enter your giant zucchini and WIN at the Altamont Fair.

We also want to see the real beauties of your garden--those perfect beans, that photographic tomato, that luminous pumpkin.

New Blue Ribbon Cooking Center

The members and associate members of the Altamont Fair put on a great show every August (August 11-16, 2009) and maintain the fairgrounds year-round . They care about the communities they live in and frequently volunteer to help their neighbors (whether as 4H leaders, school board members, volunteer firemen, sports coaches, etc.)

To celebrate the new Blue Ribbon Cooking Center, the members brought food to recent meetings. Yesterday, I transported cartons of food and toiletries donated by the people behind the Altamont Fair to The Hilltowns Community Resource Center .

The Hilltown Community Resource Center serves families in Berne, Knox, Westerlo and Rensselaerville. There were 700 food pantry visits for assistance just last year. We were glad to help and they were glad to receive the food. If anyone else has a hankering to help out, toiletries and diabetic foodstuffs are always needed. To reach them, call 797-5256.

New Pony Contest

While you are at the Altamont Fair this year, come check out the imaginatively decorated pony stalls. Pick your favorite stall. Pick your favorite pony. Results will be tallied daily with the winner announced on Saturday night. All fairgoers may vote.

Scrapbook Show Cancelled

There are no plans currently for a scrapbooking show at the Altamont Fairgrounds in June 2009. The previously announced show has been cancelled.
