See you where? At the Altamont Fair!

The annual Altamont Fair returns this summer from August 17 - 22, 2010. The Altamont Fair is full of old traditional fun but is also dedicated to having the latest trends and exhibits to show off! The emphasis of the fair is agriculture, as many exhibits come "from the farm" showing fair-goers a wide variety of demonstrations and entertainment.

You can look forward to new and old traditions this year and an array of shows and attractions. Some attractions include Nerveless Nocks, the extreme motorcycle thrill show; Dog Magic daily with demonstrations and shows such as Pawstars and Dock Diving; enjoy the Backyard Circus and Puppet Parade daily, as well. There will be live music every day, concessions, vendors, and also an unlimited amount of fair rides!
