Bring Your Happy Feet To The Great Schaghticoke Fair
March, skip or dance your way into the great Schaghticoke Fair, Wednesday, August 29, through Monday, September 3. The first ever fair-wide theme will be introduced at the 193rd annual fair. The idea was originated by Homemaking Superintendent, Marilou Town, and Flowers Superintendent, Nancy O’Donnell. The idea of having a fair-wide theme originated in the Family Living Center last year when creative exhibits and entries were displayed. With support from other building superintendents the concept quickly caught on and throughout the week of the fair, there will be Happy Feet signage displayed all over the various buildings and barns. A scavenger hunt for the children will take place daily with information provided at the Family Living Center.
