Orange County Fair Confirms 2012 Dates
Please add these important dates to your calendar! As many are aware, there has been considerable discussion regarding possibly changing the dates of the Orange Fair for future summers. The fair board will form a committee on September 21st to explore options regarding a different fair weekend in 2013 and beyond. Once options become available, the Extension Office will survey 4-H members, volunteers and parents for input.
