For many, The Altamont Fair offers a chance to appreciate gravity. Fairgoers are testing their stomachs and their skills this week, in the participatory side of the annual attraction.
Girls who ranged in age from 6 to 20 were crowned Tuesday at the Altamont fair pageant. They'll reign all week at the fair, and the winners and their alternates will do community-service projects and make appearances throughout the year.
