Poets Corner

The Altamont Fair has a little bit of everything from cars dropping from cranes to Dog Magic to battleoftheteenbands to a special afternoon of Poetry. Come visit the Schoolhouse Museum to hear original poems by William Robert Foltin, Tim Lake and friends on Wednesday, August12.

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.

Found Art

When you are in the city or in the woods, look around you. Lots of times you find really cool items that are very interesting to look at. This category in the youth Fine Arts division is designed to get young people to look at the world around them and share the results with others. You too can enter this.
