Tilly Foster Country Fair Brings Food, Fireworks, Fun July 4th Weekend

The following was sent in by the organizers of the Tilly Foster Fair--

It’s definitely going to be stay-cation time in Putnam once area schools close and the Tilly Foster Country Fair comes to town in time for the long 4th of July weekend.

The fair, which is being sponsored by the county, Putnam County Tourism, Homestyle Caterers and the Putnam County Golf Course, will open at 4 p.m. on Thursday, July 3 and run through Sunday, July 6. Easy viewing of the 9:30 p.m. July 4th Town of Southeast fireworks show at the Highlands Shopping Center comes with the price of admission to the farm and parking – it is free.

A full-fledged carnival will be held in the front pasture along Route 312 during the Country Fair. Think carousels and Ferris wheels, roller coasters and tilt-a-whirls, bumper cars and bouncy houses. And don’t forget all those skill-challenging games of chance. Homestyle Catering will provide food concessions and offer better-than-carnival fare in the area beyond the farm buildings and across the entrance road. There will also be live music and entertainment provided daily along with a variety of specialty vendors who will be selling their wares.

“We are so looking forward to opening our beautiful Tilly Foster Farm once again to the public for this special holiday weekend,” said County Executive MaryEllen Odell. “I personally invite every resident, young and old, to have the time of their lives – and to participate in the best 4th of July Putnam has ever seen.”
