The Altamont Fair is back again, running through this Sunday, 8/19. We’re expecting great weather, so if you haven’t checked it out, you should!
Lots of critters to see, starting with the ones you’d expect to see on the farm:
And ones you’d see on farms, or in town:
To ones that you might never see anywhere else in the US but a zoo:
And one pony who wanted more to eat than just the carrots he was allowed:
I like machines and technology. Of all eras. The Altamont Fair did not disappoint, with lots of cool old turn-of-the-last century farm machines chuffing away at the antique farm equipment display.
There are also lots of gorgeous restored cars. I’m thinking about a replacement for the minivan, I just can’t decide. Which one do you like better?
The 1970 Buick Sportwagon:
Or the 1969 Buick Special:
Stephen King fans might do a double-take upon seeing this one:
It’s not the same year as the one in “From a Buick 8″, but pretty close. All I could think of when I saw it was “Low men in yellow coats” driving big shiny cars.
There are lots of rides again this year, and the admission price includes ride-as-much-as-you can privileges, no extra tickets needed.
There’s the usual array of fair food, and we split an order of the family favorite – Ribbon Chips.
Prices for refreshments are pretty stiff in general, bring plenty of cash if you plan on eating and drinking on site!
