NORWICH – After over a year of long hours and devotion from Agricultural Society Board members and more than 100 volunteers, this year’s Chenango County Fair is predicted to be better than ever.

The fair will take place at the Norwich fairgrounds from Aug. 8-13.

This is the 159th year the fair has brought Chenango County residents the opportunity to enjoy family fun, agricultural awareness, and five days packed full of activities and entertainment.

“This is an event that brings the community together. It acts as a showcase for the agricultural community and shows how important agriculture really is to Chenango County,” said Chenango County Agricultural Society President Mary Weidman.

The fair has always provided diverse entertainment coinciding with the various agricultural programs.
