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.
