The 2017 Washington County Fair Program - 13
An agricultural tradition for over 100 years Dating back to 1883, the Washington County Fair has been the ultimate culmination of agriculture and entertainment for residents of Washington County. The fair exhibits the hard work and dedication of those involved in the agriculture field and allows everyone to come together and enjoy the best of what the area has to offer. Every year a multitude of attractions draws people to the fairgrounds to celebrate. Whether it’s the tractor pulls, the rides, the food, winning prizes or the educational experience of discovering the vast agriculture of the county, people pour into the fairgrounds each year. For the first six years of its existence the fair was held in the Town of Jackson and was hosted by the Farmers and Mechanics Agricultural Society. After its time at Lake Lauderdale Park in Jackson, a new society called the Cambridge Valley Agricultural Society and Stock Breeders Association took control and relocated the fair to a new location in Cambridge. In its time at the Cambridge location, the
fair grew exponentially more popular and began to draw crowds from further away. Prior to the popularization of private automobiles, trains were the ideal way for scores of “out-oftowners” to make their way to the fair. The
track, a 2,500-seat grandstand, and seven acres of buildings. Perhaps the largest impact that the Cambridge location had on the fair was in 1929, when the fairground garnered the power of electricity. World War II had a neg-
Washington County Fairgrounds circa late 1960s. Delaware & Hudson Canal Co. Railroad offered a very popular service at the time; the company would supply round trip rides to and from the fair, which would also include admission. Residents from Granville, Fort Ann, Fort Edward and other areas could all utilize this service for under $3. The popularity of the Cambridge site was probably due to the fact that it included 40 acres, stables for 200 horses, a half-mile

ative impact on the fair, as the fairgrounds were not open during the war, leading to its bankruptcy. The bankruptcy could have stymied the growth of the fair or destroyed the fair all together, but ultimately, it didn’t. The Cambridge Valley Agricultural Society and Washington County Junior Fair, which were previously two separate organizations, joined forces and in 1954 the fair was conducted at the intersection of Routes 29 and 40 in Greenwich, the presentday location of the Hannaford Supermarket. The two Boards of Directors, although working together, were still separate boards, and they decided to move the fair in 1961 to its current location at the intersection of Route 29 and Old Schuylerville Road in Greenwich, which was initially purchased as a 25-acre plot but has grown immensely ever since.
The 1960s and 70s in particular saw drastic expansion of the fair grounds, which allowed the event to become the spectacle that it is today. “There were new buildings added almost every year through the 1960s and 1970s and further additions were made in the 80s and 90s,” said JoAnne Booth. “It’s an ongoing thing. Our fair is extremely fortunate to have the buildings and facilities that are here.” In 1967, a 43-acre parcel was added on to the grounds and four years later a dormitory was added to supply housing for the large number of kids involved in the fair, especially those involved in the 4-H and Future Farmers of America programs. In 1977, a historic school house was erected at the fairgrounds. The 1970s also saw some events and attractions come and go, such as pony racing which lasted three or four years. In 1991, the Cambridge Valley Agricultural Society Board of Directors and the Washington County Junior Fair Board of Directors, which had been working together for decades, finally merged into one 32-member volunteer board. The name of the new organization was simply the Washington County Fair Inc., which has stuck as the name ever since. In 1999, the agriculture center was built and in 2008 another 40 acres were thrown into the mix to make sure there was plenty of room to park for the thousands who come, while also allowing some room for potential expansion of the event.
Currently, the fairground stands at 120 acres and the fair is now the largest tourist attraction in Washington County, with more than 120,000 people flocking to it from all over the country each year. This year’s fair kicks off on Monday, Aug. 21, with the gates opening at 5 p.m. The gates will open at 9 a.m. the remainder of the week, through the final day on Sunday, Aug. 27. Admission is $12 per day; all-week passes are available for $36. Kids under 13 get in free, as do active military personnel with valid identification. There will be a carnival fun day, senior citizen day, children’s day and family fun day, each offering unique discounts. As usual, parking is free.

FREE ENTERTAINMENT Buffalo and Brandy A highly decorated musical duo of husband and wife, Buffalo and Brandy are a staple at county fairs and other venues throughout the country. Ken (Buffalo) and Mary-Anne (Brandy) Faree both come from small-town, USA, and illustrate that small town influence through their country music. The duo has added some upbeat modern twists to the classical country feel, so there is a little something for everyone. After touring for more than 25 years, Buffalo and Brandy pride themselves on getting the audience involved in their show and illustrating a positive message and positive vibe. Both have been heavily involved in music since high school and even before that. “I would get a pass from study hall every day so I could go into the music room and rehearse on the drums,” Ken said. The duo has received awards, including the Presidential C Flag Award, NYS Broadcasters Award and many certificates of appreciation from community organizations.

Sylvia & the Magic Trunk From the tender age of 5, Sylvia Fletcher had already found her passion.

MUSIC The Greene Brothers With Special Guest Smokey Greene Smokey Greene is being joined this year by the Greene Brothers for more downhome country music during the evening of Aug. 21.
Where: Entertainment Tent 1 When: Monday, 6:00 p.m. and 8:00 p.m. The 87-year-old Greene, whose motto is “Keep Country in Country Music,” aims to do just that through each of his performances. Greene taught himself to play the banjo in 1944 and ever since has been involved heavily in creating music for all. Greene was a member of the U.S. Air Force and it was during those travels that he found his passion for playing Bluegrass music; particularly his
time in California spurred this interest. For more than a dozen years the Smokey Greene Bluegrass Festival was a popular bluegrass festival in the greater area. It started in 1972 in Corinth. The man known as “The Friendly Voice of Country Music in Upstate New York,” has worked collaboratively with bands and has gone out on his own as well. Greene has worked with such famous musicians as Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard and Tex Ritter, which has only added to his passion for good old-style country music. Simply put, Greene is a legend in area music and that’s why he keeps coming back to the Washington County Fair.
Jeff Williams Music Jeff Williams returns to entertain fairgoers with his strong vocals and a vast range of everyone’s favorite music. This year Jeff will perform three different shows. Tuesday and Saturday – Tribute to the Country M u s i c Where: Cabose Tent Artist of When: Tuesday - Sunday the 80’s, 90’s and 7:00 p.m. the First Decade of the Century. Throwback artist includes Toby Keith, George Strait, Garth Brooks, Alabama, Brooks and Dunn, Alan Jackson, and more. Wednesday and Friday – Tribute to the Legends of Country Music. Songs by Conway Twitty, Ronnie Milsap, Waylon Jennings, Willie Nelson, Merle Haggard, George Jones, and more. Thursday and Sunday – Tribute to the
great Rock Bands and Folk Singers from the 60’s and 70’s. Listen to songs by the Eagles, America, The Allman Brothers, Lynyard Skynryd, Jimmy Buffet, John Denver, and more. Jeff Williams is a native of Washington County, growing up in Clarks Mills. He began singing in clubs in the Lake George/ Glens Falls/Saratoga region over 20 years ago. In 1998 he moved to Nashville to pursue his singing career. While living in Nashville he performed at many of the famous clubs, including the Broken Spoke and the Wild Horse Saloon.

Country Western Dance Instructors’ Forum For at least 10 years, the Country Western Dance Instructors’ Forum has hosted dance instructors from across the region to meet and show off their students’ moves. This year is no different, but with a huge jump from 10 to 14 instructors set to participate. The group meets monthly in Latham, but the Washington County Fair becomes their setting in August. Members will be voting on the dance of the month and
instructors may teach the dance to their group. The public is welcome to attend Where: Judging Arena Tent all parts of the meeting and join in the When: Sunday, 2:00 p.m. dancing, if they desire. Nearly 150 dancers attended last year and a similar number is expected this year.
Hill Country Cloggers Since 1988, the Hill Country Cloggers have been sharing a dance style that goes back more than 150 years when European immigrants settled in the Appalachian Mountains and comWhere: Judging Arena Tent bined their dances When: Sunday, 6:00 p.m. and music with those of other immigrants. The group, which began with just eight members, now has 65 members in its ranks. Appearing at the Washington County Fair for 20 years, the group returns again this year with 25 dancers leading the show with a group performance of
“You’re a Grand Old Flag.” Members of the group range in age from 7 to 95, performing all over the Capital region at nursing homes, other events and – of course - fairs. One of the newest members, and brand new to dancing, is an 88-year-old, who is said to be able to put even young dancers to shame. Traditionally, cloggers danced to bluegrass music, and still do today. But they have added many other kinds of music including rock’n’roll, pop, country western, oldies, Irish and more.

UPPER HUDSON MAPLE PRODUCERS The Upper Hudson Maple Producers Association sugarhouse, located at East End Drive in front of the County Bounty Building at the Washington County Fair, was built to educate the public about maple syrup and maple products and promote the region as a top maple producing area. The sugarhouse is open every day of the fair and is staffed by volunteer members of the Association. There is always someone on hand to talk about the process of making maple syrup and answer any questions that visitors have about the equipment on display. Visitors will be able to purchase maple syrup and any number of other maple products, including: maple milkshakes, maple donuts, maple cream, maple sugar candy, maple cotton candy, soft ice cream, coffee, maple fudge, maple coated nuts and much, much more. Maple cooking demonstrations will be happening throughout the week. With picnic tables and maple shade trees, the Upper Hudson Maple Producers Association Sugarhouse is a great place to stop for a snack and a rest!

4-H gets youth involved The Washington County Fair continues to offer 4-Hers as well as all youth opportunities to show off their mastery of skills, maybe develop some independence, share some of their generosity and meanwhile letting others know that they belong to this worldwide organization. “We are all about building and developing youth into active and contributing members of their communities,” said Chrys Nestle, the 4-H Extension Educator for Cor nell Cooperative Extension. “The Washington County Fair is a great platform for them to experience many of these opportunities.” 4-H offers many activities through three missions – Science, Technolog y, Engineering, Math; Healthy Living; and Citizenship and Leadership. Youth spend a great deal of time preparing for the fair each year. “Our projects incorporate one or more of these missions,” Nestle said. “While not all project work can be entered in the fair, youth can be very creative in exhibiting the new skills and knowledge they’ve gained throughout the year.” The range of activities for 4-H participants is exciting. Some members raise and show animals – not only dairy cows but beef cows, chickens, rabbits, goats, sheep and pigs. Youth also showcase home grown vegetables, baked goods, and photography for judging. Clubs also can enter displays in the fair. The club exhibits is a good place to see what clubs
have been doing over the past year. Photography continues to gain popularity during fair week, and has gotten more diverse. With the addition of a new set of categories, youth are now able to enter digitally enhanced photos. All submissions are judged by a volunteer evaluators using the Danish System. Instead of first place, second place etc., this evaluation method focuses on recognizing what the children have accomplished. Judges primarily consider age and the amount of work dedicated to the project. Entries are then awarded blue, red or white ribbon for excellent, very good and worthy. Another type of valuable experience gained within the exhibition process is communication skills as youth are able to converse with their judge about their proj-
ect. Judges are encouraged to engage the youth to talk about their project, what they liked and what they thought was challenging. “Part of their success,” Nestle said, “is being able to have a conversation with the judges.” However, if a child has nothing of their own to display, volunteers are always welcome in other areas. Youth can volunteer in the 4-H Food Booth, be a junior superintendent or do an activity with fairgoers in the Youth Building. Everyone involved is able to contribute to the goals of 4-H and lend a helping hand at the fair. The 4-H Food Booth will return this year offering hamburgers, hot dogs, sandwiches and more. They also offer a full breakfast until 9:30 am every morning. The Milkshake Booth offers cones and shakes. Proceeds are used to support the 4-H
clubs, educational trips, 4-H volunteer trainings and college scholarships. Both stands are operated by 4-H members and volunteers but all are welcomed to help out. This is a great community service opportunity. “They work hard,” said Nestle. “Most of the kids love meeting new people. They also gain valuable work experience that can help them later on get a job.” “The fair and 4-H provide youth with opportunities for growth and mastery, become more independent, share their generosity and experience a sense of belonging,” states Nestle. And what are the 4 H’s? The answer is in the pledge: I pledge my Head to clearer thinking, my Heart to greater loyalty, my Hands to larger service and my Health to better living; for my Club, my Community, my Country and my World.

The Cheese Lady In the creative world of culinary arts, Sarah Kaufmann has literally carved a unique niche. The former graphic artist has focused her talents on cheese – not making it, or painting it, but carving it. Her work has ranged Where: Ag. Center, milking parlor from a 10-pound When: Wednesday-Sunday violin, to 11 a.m. - 9 p.m. a 300pound gorilla, to a 1,900-pound astronaut and to a 2,185-pound Year of Dairy Cows cheese creation that was displayed at the Indiana State Fair. Kaufmann’s cheese-carving career evolved from her experience in food marketing and promotion where she learned a special event can be a catalyst for drawing media attention and building retail sales. Her decision to become a cheese carver combines her artistic talents and marketing skills to entertain and educate consumers, the media, retailers and chefs. Known as “The Cheese Lady,” Kaufmann has received hundreds of commissions for her work. She creates sculptures in her studio and sculpts cheese at countless venues including many fairs. Although she uses many kinds of cheese, she works most
often with mild yellow or white cheddar. Kaufmann returns to the Washington County Fair for the third straight year and will display her talents on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday in the milking parlor. She invites fairgoers to stop in to, talk with her, and to enjoy delicious free samples of Cabot cheese.
Visit www.washingtoncountyfair.com The New Incredible Talking, Milking Cow Aggie Culture, Aggie for short, named by Name the Cow contest winner Amanda Perkins of Hudson Falls NY, is found in the AG Center. The incredible Milking Cow is an interactive educational tool, allowing children of all ages to learn the art of milking and to learn about the dairy industry. Kids can take turns milking Aggie. The fiberglass milking cow is handmade and hand painted. A hidden pump delivers constant fluid from the holding tank to the udders to the authentic stainless steel milking pail. The Incredible Milking Cow talks and will say things like “I have quite an appetite. I eat 40 pounds of food every day…and then I wash it down with about a bathtub full of water!”

FFA Farmland returns The FFA Farmland will be returning to the Washington County Fair this year with a collection of farm animals that will include chicks, ducks, cows, pigs, goats, mini-horses and llamas. All animals are kid-friendly and enjoy interaction. Every year this is a fun place for fairgoers to stop in and enjoy their favorite animals all week long. The farmland is open daily from 11 a.m. to closing. The FFA Farmland is made possible by the FFA chapters in Granville, Greenwich, Hartford, Argyle, Salem and Schuylerville. Members and volunteers of the schools will be on site to answer questions and care for the animals. The National Future Farmers of America Organization is an inter-curricular student organization for high school students interested in agriculture and leadership.

Museum, Schoolhouse Display Heritage Displayed at the Washington County Fair, the Farm Museum and Perkins Hollow Schoolhouse showcase artifacts and historical items from more than a century ago. The Farm Museum is open on the fairgrounds from May to October, and it shows aspects of agriculture throughout the county, including antique crop production and harvesting tools. Local farmers will demonstrate how to use much of the antique equipment. There will also be demonstrations of arts and crafts, like pottery, wood-turning and fabric-processing. The museum strives to create an appreciation for agriculture by educating visitors about rural heritage. The Perkins Hollow Schoolhouse still retains the original wooden desks and glass windows, along with other artifacts, that earned it the 1984 Washington County Historic Preservation Award as well as being noted in 2010 as a Landmark Schoolhouse by the County School Association in America. The museum will be open from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. during the fair.

Visit the Dairy Princess at the fair The 52nd Washington County Dairy Princess is not your average Dairy Princess. Rachel Hall, of Easton, New York takes pride in her connection to agriculture. Hall lives on a diversified farm with goats, horses, a mini-donkey, chickens, rabbits and a mini-pig. Her connection to the dairy industry is through the 4H lease program. For several years, Hall has leased Guernseys from her High School Agriculture teacher, Betsy Foote. She has shown dairy cows at the Washington County Fair for the past two years. She has been a fixture at the Washington County Fair since a young age showing rabbits and dairy goats. Hall’s experiences with a variety of animals will help her succeed in her future goal of becoming a large animal veterinarian. Customer service with a smile is Hall’s motto while working at the Greenwich Tractor Supply Company. Since December 2016, Hall
Cassidy Kuzmich, Rachel Hall, Shania Danio and Mackenzie Casey. has found time in her extremely busy schedule to gain work experience in the agricultural business industry. She has used her knowledge gained through 4H, high school agricultural education classes and FFA to evaluate customers’ needs and provide them with out-

standing service. In area athletic departments, Hall is best-known as the dominating pitcher from state- and nationally-ranked softball teams. Hall began playing softball when she was 5 years old and has never looked back. Since her freshman year, she has been
the starting pitcher on the varsity team. She has taken her team to the state and national finals over her tenure. This year, Hall was named Wasaren League MVP and NYS Second Team All-Star. She plans to continue her softball career while pursuing a degree in Animal Science at SUNY Cobleskill College of Agricultural and Technology. Her role as the Washington County Dairy Princess will include participating in parades, school programs, farm meetings, consumer speeches and organizing events and the booth at the Washington County Fair. Hall and her team of three alternates, Kassidy Kuzmich, Shania Danio and Mackenzie Casey, as well as nearly fifty ambassadors will work hard to promote the dairy industry throughout Washington County. After her busy year of service, Hall will be running for the title of New York Dairy Princess next February.

Fairgrounds home to more than fair Every year thousands of people flock to the Washington County Fair to revel in the joy and entertainment of fair week. It’s estimated upward of 120,000 people filter through the turnstiles every August. But there’s a lot more happening at the fairgrounds than just the fair itself. While no other single event can boast of such large crowds, the fairgrounds remain a busy place throughout the year. For seven months of the year, from April through October, the fairgrounds play host to a variety of notable events. The Washington County Antique Fair and Flea Market spends two weekends a year at the fairgrounds— the first weekends in May and August—and features more than 200 vendors from throughout the United States and Canada. Dealers sell a variety of rare antiques, hard to find collectibles and a myriad of crafts. And because the show is traditional-
ly held a week before the Brimfield, Mass., antique show, there are many items that appear for sale for the first time. The 2018 shows will be held the first weekend in May, and the first weekend in August and feature vendors in both indoor and outdoor venues. Hours are 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. on Saturday and 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Sunday. There is also an “early buyer” pass, which gives guests access to the show during setup on Friday. To learn more visit fairgroundshows.com. For the past four years the fairgrounds have hosted the Adirondack Wool & Arts Festival, a two-day celebration featuring more than 120 vendors from throughout the Northeast. The weekend includes workshops, demonstrations, livestock shows and much more. This year’s event will be held on Sept. 23 & 24. For more information, visit www.adkwoolandarts.com
Other notable events held at the fairgrounds are the Tour of the Battenkill, America’s largest one-day Pro/Am cycling race, and the Friends of The Washington County Grasslands IBA (Important Bird Area) Winter Raptor Festival. The fairgrounds also host a number of smaller events by local groups and organizations. Horse, cow and rabbit shows, dog agility trials, livestock sales and other agricultural events are held there throughout the year. Local Scout groups and 4H clubs often hold events at the fairgrounds, and the Washington County Seniors held their annual picnic there last month. The grounds are also available for family reunions, wedding receptions, corporate events, fundraisers and other private events. To learn more about the events held at the fairgrounds or to inquire how you could hold your own event, visit washingtoncountyfair.com.

Washington County Craft Beverage Corral and Tasting Washington County Craft Beverage Producers will host a tasting event in the County Bounty Building from 4:00 8:00 PM on Tuesday. Participants are limited to Washington County Craft Beverage producers; consisting of four wineries, three breweries, one distillery, and one cidery. Gerry Barnhart of Victory View Vineyards and Christopher Castrio from Argyle Brewing met with members of the Washington County Fair to discuss ways to showcase the region’s growth in the craft beverage industry, and their impact on Washington County agriculture in the “farm-to-glass”
movement. “We believe there is real potential to expand this event in the future if we do a good job with the pilot this year,” said Castrio. “We do need to be very sensitive to the Fair’s long-standing no alcohol policy and family focus. We are confident we can do a good job with the pilot by pooling our resources and working together.” The fair is pleased to be able to include this aspect of the county’s agriculture. A tasting corral will be created, with ID check station and wristbands. No other on-site consumption is permitted.

Milking Cows at the Fair Most of the dairy cows at the fair are milked in the milking parlor at the Ag center. The milking parlor itself has stalls for 12 cows which work independently of each other. Visitors at the fair can watch the cows being milked and also see how the milk is cooled and stored before being picked up by Stewart’s in the early morning hours. In preparation for fair week, the parlor is made ready for Delaval, Archdale Agricultural Products, and the fair staff. They will make sure all systems in the parlor are ready to go – from proper cooling temperatures, washing cycles, and the milking equipment itself. The Department of Ag and Markets also inspects the milking system before the Fair. Parlor operators, Craig Hansen and Mike Green, are in charge of the parlor during the week. They make sure it is ready for the over 100 cows that are brought into the parlor for milking every day. The Fair’s milk itself is cooled and tested for bacteria and antibiotics just like the milk from any dairy farm before it is transported and processed. During the fair milking times, local dairy farmers and fair staff are available at the parlor to explain the milking process and to answer any questions from fair goers about

Kids’ Power Wheel Demo Derby Head to the track to watch our youngest motorsports event participants in our first every Power Wheel Derby. Children from ages 3 to 8 years old will compete in two heats, driving their battery operated vehicles. The object is to pop the oversized balloons on their competitor’s car. This derby is fun and picture worthy. Driver profiles include fun information like “He loves to play with farm animals, trucks and tractors in the mud. He loves to get dirty. His favorite animal is a “piggy” and his favorite food is watermelon,” and “Lucas is in third grade and loves the color green. His favorite food is mac and cheese. He loves Godzilla and watching mom in the demolition derby!”
