      The Baby Animal Barn will be open all day, and there will also be other animal exhibits and demonstrations, including a special section about birds of prey. Don’t miss the many 4-H shows and presentations on display.

      Floral Hall will have local farmers’ displays, demonstrations by Serendipity Spinners, the Duffer Borden Fair Collection, and more!

      Check out the conservation area for wild life displays, and learn about Cornell Cooperative Extension Programs. Learn about forest conservation with programs about Woodlot Management, Skidder Bridge Info, Master Forestry Assistance, and more!

      Not to mention all the carnival rides, games, and food available every day!

      Pets are not allowed on the fairground except for service or exhibit animals. No Alcoholic Beverages allowed. This is a tobacco free fair, so use of tobacco is limited to the campground area only.
