Chenango County celebrates its #1 industry with Dairy Day Saturday!
NORWICH – The 11th annual Chenango County Dairy Day will be held on Saturday at the Chenango County Fairgounds. The event, organized by Cornell Cooperative Extension, is intended to promote agriculture.
“It’s a day to celebrate Chenango County’s #1 industry – at least in my eyes,” said Rebecca Daubert, agriculture and outreach coordinator. “We provide free family fun and entertainment, and educational activities.”
The day starts off with a parade at 11 a.m. from the Tops parking lot to the fairgrounds.
There, kids and adults can enjoy hands-on activities, as well as educational exhibits. There will be exhibits by the Chenango County Historical Society, Agro Farma of Columbus, Baker’s Maple of Bainbridge and many other organizations.
Stock tub races commence at 1 p.m. Farms and local businesses are encouraged to create a vehicle to race against a stock tub. Teams must have at least three, but no more than five, participants and one member must be ride inside the vehicle.
Registration will be that morning, Daubert said, so there is still plenty of time to sign up.
Leatherstocking Veterinary Services will also have a fistulated cow on exhibit, courtesy of SUNY Morrisville. A fistulated cow is a cow with an intentional hole in it for observing the digestive process. Daubert reassured that the exhibit would be completely harmless to the animal, but really fun and interesting for kids.
There will also be a coronation coronation ceremony for the Chenango County Dairy Princess and Court.
There will be plenty of fun for the whole family, as well as free milk, Daubert said.
“It’s a great way to learn more about farming in Chenango County,” she said. “And a great way to support agriculture in general.”
