Next Tuesday opens the annual Chenango County Fair, and while you are having a great time on the rides, checking out the tractor pulls, and stuffing your face with cotton candy and fried dough, don't forget to mosey all the way down the first aisle to the conservation area and visit the displays put on by the Federated Sportsman's Clubs of Chenango County & Friends.

You will find a listing of the displays and times in the special section of the Evening Sun and Pennysaver that is dedicated to the fair. But I thought I would give you a little background of what is scheduled to be on display.

Hickling’s Fish Farm, Edmeston will be displaying live fish all week in the 150-gallon tank in building number two. There will be largemouth and smallmouth bass, chain pickerel, brown bullheads, yellow perch, rainbow, brook and brown trout, flathead minnow,s and walleye on display. These fish represent the most popular species in our area. If you have never caught one, now is the time to see what they look like up close. (www.hicklingsfishfarm.com)
