Old Time Fair; Simple pleasures at an old-fashioned fair

Posted

GRAHAMSVILLE, NY — The Time and the Valleys Museum invites one and all to the Old Time Fair on Saturday, July 25, rain or shine. The fair will feature old-fashioned fun at old-fashioned prices (in fact, admission and parking are free), as well as Miller’s chicken barbeque.

The Old Time Fair is the main fundraising event for the Time and the Valleys Museum, an interactive museum that preserves the past, educates the present and ensures the uniqueness of the Rondout and Neversink watersheds for all generations.

There will be homemade, hand-churned ice cream samples and new games of skill and chance for all age levels. Games include sack races, balloon pop and hole-in-one games, a football toss and boat races, to name a few. There will be live music by Paul Lounsbury and Friends, as well as a variety of craft and other vendors.

For adults, and new this year, is a two-person sawing contest and croquet game for cash prizes. A perennial highlight of the fair is the skillet toss for the ladies and a pie auction, where pies have sold for bids high and low and the competition is fierce.

Miller’s chicken barbeque will also be available, and tickets are on sale now at the Time and the Valleys Museum. The dinner includes Miller’s famous barbequed chicken, three-bean salad, macaroni salad, corn on the cob and dessert at the cost of $11 for adults, $7 for children. Take out or eat in, the barbeque will be available from 2 to 5 p.m.
