Don't Miss: Putnam 4-H Fair

From the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Putnam County

The Putnam County 4-H Fair is a 3-day weekend of fun — and learning — for everyone. This, its 47th year, promises to be just as enjoyable as always. You can:

• Relax at the Shady Grove Theater, listen to talented artists, both youth and adult, amateur and professional.
• Win a ribbon! Enter your photography, quilt, baked goods, great vegetables and crafts for displaying in the big exhibit building. You don't have to be a member of 4-H to enter.
• Stop by the Master Gardener Plant Sale! Master Gardeners always have a colorful display of perennials, annuals, trees and shrubs for sale. Master Gardeners are on hand to answer your gardening questions.
• Bid and win tools, paintings, tickets to shows, patio furniture and more at the Country Auction, Saturday at 2pm.
• Experience Tony's World of Science and Magic. Be curious or be skeptical, but you will definitely be amazed. Where is Tony? Just follow the sounds of children laughing.

That's not all: Touch a Truck, Pet Shows, Food, Face Painting, Games, Civil War and Revolutionary War Encampments, Putnam History, Horse Demos, Country Pig Roast & Chicken Barbecue, Fishing Contest and more!

The Putnam County Fair continues to be three days of non-commercial, wholesome family fun, entertainment, and learning. Admission and parking are always free.

How does the 4-H Fair happen each year? The generosity of the Putnam community and more than 500 youth and adult volunteers help Cornell Cooperative Extension of Putnam County produce this great community event.

Your tax-deductible contribution will allow them to continue to host one of the County’s largest community events. You can become a sponsor (download the sponsor form here) or give a donation when you enter or leave the fairgrounds.

Only dogs pre-registered for the dog show are allowed on the Fairgrounds.
