The Dutchess County fair in Rhinebeck,New York has been cancelled this year...thats going to be some blow to the local economy..hundreds of thousands of visitors from all over the Northeast attend..not to mention the locals. I used to like it as a teenager...but i am not crazy about crowds stepping on my feet.
I used to show dairy cattle at Dutchess County (20 years ago).... our local (Chautauqua County, NY) announced the fair cancellation last month. Not a good omen when you think these were scheduled for a few months away. I imagine the State Fair won't happen either. (They have cancelled all events thru June 30th so far)
Partsguy, you would probably not recognize the modern Dutchess County fair...for a non profit its hugely commercial...but i guess thats what the people of today want..to walk through the buildings and buy works of art and jewelry. When i was 15 i went to the fair with 5 bucks and stayed all day...rides, a huge 50 cent sausage and pepper sandwich etc.
