STORY AND PHOTOS BY ALLISON RUEF

A

s the only agricultural-based fair in Sullivan County, the Little World’s Fair is truly a big deal. Celebrating its 136th year, the fair’s old-fashioned appeal is part of the charm, but modern offerings abound such as a midway full of rides and games, a full slate of familyfriendly entertainment and fireworks on Saturday night. There’s a little something for everyone!

“What I’ve always loved about the fair is that it’s big enough for a full day of fun, but not so big that it is overwhelming,” explains Cathy Bender, president of the Neversink Agricultural Society, the organization that established and oversees the fair.

As the longest running independent fair in New York state, the Little Worlds Fair is true to its agricultural roots. A big part of the weekend’s activities is the showing of animals by local 4-H clubs throughout the county. Members show livestock including cows, horses, goats, pigs, rabbits and typically poultry. However, due to the Avian Influenza outbreak that is plaguing farmers, poultry won’t be

shown this year.

“This is the only fair in Sullivan County where our local 4-H clubs can compete, and this is their venue for their annual showing,” explains Bender. “Winning here – either as a grand champion or first in breed – allows the exhibitors to move on to the state level of competition.”

The animals, as well as horticultural and other still exhibits give visitors the chance to get up close and personal with the things that country folk take for granted, such as farm animals, home-grown vegetables and prize-winning horticultural displays.

“For some kids who visit – and some adults too – the fair is often the first time they have seen a cow or a goat or pig up close,” says Bender. “And they can pet the animals as well. The 4-H participants and their advisors are always on hand to talk about the animals they have raised and plants, vegetables and flowers they have grown.”

New family entertainment is also on the schedule for this year including “The Incredible Baby T-Rex Dinosaur Show,” the band “Studio Two” – a Beatles CONTINUED ON PAGE 4L

tribute band. The always popular “Nature Nick’s Animal Adventures” will also perform daily shows. For classic car buffs, Sunday’s “Cruzin’ the Grahamsville Fair Classic Car Show” is always well attended and be sure to catch the good, old fashioned Draft Horse Pull at noon on Saturday.

Come for your annual fill of some of the best “fair food” around – corn on the cob, gyros, fresh-squeezed, icecold lemonade, cotton candy, pulled pork, hot dogs and hamburgers and, of course, funnel cake are just a small sampling of the culinary delights to be found.

Each year, says Bender, profits from the fair are invested back into making the annual event even better. This year, new LED midway lights will make for a brighter, safer night-time experience. Grants have been applied for to replace the vendor buildings and to restore some of the original exhibition buildings, most of which date back to the early 1900s.

“We’ve made improvements that the public may not necessarily notice,

Publisher: Senior Editor: Editor: Sports Editor: Editorial Assistants: Advertising Director: Advertising Coordinator: Advertising Representatives: Special Sections Coordinator: Business Manager: Business Department: Telemarketing Coordinator: Classified Manager: Production Associates: Distribution:

but our exhibitors and vendors certainly do,” said Bender. Those improvements include replacing the lighting in the livestock building and upgrading the electric throughout the fairgrounds.

“It’s always our goal to improve the experience that people have when they come to the fair,” explained Bender. “We’ll always be a small, family-friendly event and we’ll also always strive to make it the best possible experience for everyone who attends.”

Little World’s Fair: The oldest independent fair in NYS

T

he Farmers Club of Grahamsville was formed in the fall of 1870 or spring of 1871 and changed its name to the Neversink Agricultural Society in 1897.

The first Grahamsville Fair was held on a bright September day in 1878 and 425 tickets were sold. Admission was ten cents. Ties for cattle, oxen, horses and pens for hogs and sheep had been built. There was space for family picnics in the orchard back of the fairgrounds. A few booths had been set up for exhibits of produce.

Steadily increasing in size, the fair was moved several times. Finally, the present grounds were rented and later purchased. The first year on the new grounds is remembered because the bridge gave way and fairgoers had to drive through the Chestnut Creek.

The Little World’s Fair, as it came to be called affectionately, has been held every year except 1928, when floods took out the bridge and tore up the fairgrounds.

In this old-time photo fairgoers enjoy a stroll through the Little World’s Fair. Note the booth for Ramsay’s Granite and Marble, which still is in existance today (and has an ad on this page!)

Even a first place pig needs a little rest after a long day at the fair. There is plenty of shade and places to sit, so come out and enjoy the fair. And don’t forget to say hello to ‘Wilbur.’ Actually this was 4-Her Evan Decker’s Tamworth Market Hog, which was at the fair a few years ago.
