Join me September 18 for a presentation about the Dutchess County fair. Hosted by the Millbrook Historical Society, I’ll be giving a slideshow and talk on the fair’s history. Tom Odak will then speak to the group about his 29 years as fair manager. A great storyteller, I’m sure his remembrances will be fun and memorable.
Members of the historical society are preparing visual displays and fair memorabilia. I’m bringing my research notebook which is full of articles from the Agricultural Society’s 168 years including agricultural census information dating back to the 1840s and a copy of IBM’s Thomas Watson’s original speech—cross outs and all—to international representatives after the end of WWII.
WHERE: Lyall Federated Church, 30 Maple Avenue in downtown Millbrook, New York
WHEN: 7p.m. Thursday, September 18
