Pine Plains Views

A Video Celebration of Rural Community

The County Fair

E-mail

Farmers of the Future!

Some city people call it the "country" fair, but just about every rural county has its own fair and the Dutchess County Fair, in New York State, attracts over 500,000 visitors a year. 

This year, 2009, the 4-H Club dairy cow competition was a proud moment for Pine Plains.  Gina Brooks, who you may have already met on this website in The Dairy Farm, and her brother, Patrick, showed two of her cows, a Brown Swiss and a Holstein, which she has been keeping in Barry Chase's barn. 

 Here is a slide show of the Pine Plains 4-H Club showing at the fair.  


We are very proud of these kids and look forward to what they will do next!

 Oh... do feel you need to see some fair midway activies and amusement rides to make the fair seem real?  Well...

Why

I came to Pine Plains a few years ago by choice, not by chance of birth. But the small-town rural community I chose is changing. The farmers have, for the most part, sold to people from the city and fields are becoming lawns.

I am making this journal to preserve what I can of a changing way of life and to share it with the community. On a more personal level, I am making this as a way of holding on to the reasons why I came here.
