They are no strangers to the Altamont Orchard but now they can offer their brews permanently. Allied Brewing Company will continue to serve its military-themed beers inside the orchard's farm store.
Fair Season is upon us here in the Capital Region. Two have already come and gone, the Saratoga Fair and The Punkintown Fair in Voorheesville. Did you miss those two as I did? No worries, plenty more fairs will come before the summer ends and into the fall season.
I once worked as a carny. Well, actually, I worked at the Altamont fair for about a two days when I was 15. I have to say, it was probably the best thing I ever did. I quickly leaned that trying to talk people into shooting a basketball at a hoop that was clearly bent wasn't my thing.
The Altamont Fair in Altamont New York has officially opened and 2012 marks the 119th year of representing Albany, Schenectady and Greene Counties. Some things never change like the fried dough, the animal shows, the racing pigs but some things are new, including a circus and new thrill rides like 'Speed' and 'Vertigo'. The fair also brings out some great food, tell us what your favorite is!
