As we enter the ‘dog days’ of summer, I encourage everyone in the North Country and Mohawk Valley to support their local fairs. Every summer, these fairs pop up in our communities and provide countless services and activities for residents. For two years, the pandemic forced our fairs to shut down. This is even more reason for us to attend this year and financially support the many locals who have stands on site.

Take a look at this year’s fair schedule within the 117^th Assembly District:

• 205^th Jefferson County Fair, July 12^th-17^th

• 201^st Lewis County Fair, July 19^th-23^rd

• 134^th Boonville Oneida County Fair, July 26^th- 31^st

• Gouverneur & St. Lawrence County Fair, August 2^nd- 7^th

Gather with family and friends this year to enjoy the rides, some candy apples and local agricultural products at our historical county fairs.

As always, please feel free to reach out to my office at 315-493-3909 or email me at blankenbushk@nyassembly.gov.
