Motorcycles of all different shapes and sizes will be revving up engines at the Altamont Fair next week. Biker art and culture will be on full display.

Though the Altamont Fair has long been a place to showcase agricultural achievements, more and more it’s also where people share their intimate connections to the living world with others.

In addition to the reconditioned windmill, fairgoers will be treated to freshly cut wooden shingles cut by an old shingle machine at the museum.

Many of the candidates are incumbents — Kenneth Runion for supervisor, Paul Pastore and Patricia Slavick for town board, and Denise Randall for town justice.
 

The Blue Ribbon Cooking Center, under the direction of Monica Bush, will hold the usual contests, particularly the canned-goods competition, titled “Bring Out Your Best,” with awards from Ball and Kerr Home Canning. 

ALTAMONT — Marie McMillen got a different perspective on the Altamont Fair — her life’s work — when she saw it on the big screen.

— 9:30 a.m., traditional worship with special music, “It is Well With My Soul”, sung by the Liturgical Choir and the St. John’s Singers.
