New York's dairy industry plays a key role in our farms, local communities and economy. From the barn to your fridge, dairy matters. Remember to support farmers and the work they do!

This week, the Columbia County Fairgrounds benefited from the efforts of the Middle School Service Club and the Kiwanis International Builders Club. Led by Mrs. Hoffman, these students worked alongside fair staff to clean the grounds, removing trash and fallen branches. Their dedication to community service is truly commendable, and we are grateful for their assistance. Kiwanis International
