WHITNEY POINT (WBNG) It s all hands on deck at Whitney Point Fairgrounds in preparation for the 146th Annual Broome County Fair.
After the pandemic postponed the 2020 fair, Board President Gary Cornell said preparations for this year s fair require a little extra attention. It s getting everything in line and making sure the vendors know where they go and get things ready, Cornell said. We didn t have a fair last year so we ve had more repairs than we thought we would have because things didn t get used.
For one fair participant preparing and packing for a week at the fair is similar to packing for a camping trip.

(WBNG) The Broome County Fair is set to to kick of their 146th year!
The fair returns after the pandemic canceled the festivities in 2020. Preparations for the fair usually take place about a year in advance but Board President Gary Cornell said the pandemic altered those plans. A lot of our events that are coming back in front of the grand stand are the ones that we re signed up for last year, Cornell said. The only thing was we just really didn t start planning the Fair until April/May for this year which is late.
