Hello August! Wowza, it sure has been so hot and humid this Summer and these afternoon thunderstorms have not cooled down the temperatures very much. We are gearing up for the 143rd Grahamsville Little World’s Fair! August 18th-20th.

Don’t forget there is a 4-H Youth Agriculture Product and Livestock Auction at the Grahamsville Little World’s Fair on Sunday, August 20th. Viewing starts at 12:00 and auction bidding begins at 1:00 PM. Support our local 4-H youth (my daughter included!) as they auction off the hard work they have been working on all season. From sweet corn, raw honey, herbs, pies, eggs, canned goods, flowers, livestock and so much more! 

Please come join us and bid on the items the Sullivan County 4H youth have to offer. All proceeds raised are split between the youth and the 4H auction scholarship fund. Call 845-292-6180 ext. 109 for more information.
