Mr. and Mrs. Chenango County Fair 2016 The Chenango County Agricultural Society Board of Directors is pleased to have Syd and Pat McEvoy represent our 169th Chenango County Fair and serve as our ambassadors particularly for the youth and 4-H areas.

Syd and Patti McEvoy both grew up on dairy farms in Marathon, NY. His family owns Mac-Mara Holsteins, and he grew up showing cattle a the Broome County Fair, Cortland Junior Fair, and New York State Fair. Syd received his Associate’s Degree from SUNY Cobleskill, and his Bachelor’s and Master’s Degree from Cornell University in Animal Science and Agricultural Education. Patti earned a degree from Mohawk Community College in Advertising and Print Production. Syd became the 4-H agent in Chenango County in June of 1980, a position he held for 18 years. During this time, the Harry L. Case 4-H Building was built to showcase the youth exhibits during the fair. He also worked with the Chenango County fair board and Cooperative Extension to obtain grants and donations to construct the Follett Showring and the Margaret Johnson Milking Parlor. Syd also began the Adopt-a-Calf Program that allowed non-farm youth to use a calf as a 4-H project without actually owning one. This program model has now gone state-wide and these 4-Hers can even show at the New York State Fair. Syd got his start announcing dairy shows at the Chenango County Fair. He now serves as announcer for the new York State Holstein Carousel held each spring in Syracuse, the Central New York Holstein Show, the Cortland County Junior Fair, and the Tompkins County Holstein Show.

He is a past president of the Cortland Rotary Club, and currently serves as Chairman of the Christmas Tree Project, Pancake Breakfast Fundraiser, and High School Scholarship Committee for the Marathon Lions’ Club. Patti is team leader for her Relay for Life team, raising money and walking to raise awareness and find a cure for cancer. They have two grown children, both who were active 4-Hers in Cortland and Chenango Counties. Matt is now team leader of the machinery and field crops team at the Cornell University Dairy Cattle Research Center in Harford, NY. Meghan is a 7th grade English teacher and soccer/track coach at Marathon Central School. Syd retired in 2012 from CCE Cortland, where he was the Executive Director for 32 years.

Now in its 100th year in the carnival business, Coleman Brothers Shows will return to the Chenango County Fairgrounds for yet another round of family friendly rides, games and entertainment. Started as a one-man show in 1926, Coleman Brothers Shows has since taken off to include more than 30 rides, games and other concessions operated with the help of more than 50 workers during the busy season. It all began when Richard Coleman purchased a used merry-go-round for $250 and charged for rides where it was set up near the Portland Bridge. Word spread about the ride, as did Coleman’s ambitions. He started booking shows in different towns and, with help from • Floral Displays • School Arts • Master Gardeners • Chenango County Soil & Water District his brothers, more rides were purchased and concessions added as the years went by. Eventually, Coleman’s sons got in the carnival business as well. Today, the operation is run by Bob Coleman, one of Richard’s sons, and his wife, Rachel. According to the Coleman Brothers website, the traveling carnival is always seeking new attractions to keep the excitement thriving.

On Tuesday, opening day of the fair, harness racing returns to the Chenango County track, giving spectators a look at some of the best racers in the state. “We’re fortunate to have one of the best tracks in the fair racing circuit,” said Lawrence, citing near record-breaking times that have been set at the Norwich track over the years. “We’ve seen a lot of fast times at the track, and it’s because we’re able to maintain it. It gets damaged quickly because of different events and because of flooding in the spring, so it takes almost a full year to keep preparing that track; but it pays off.” If racing isn’t your thing, then here’s something else to pique your interest: Roman Riding. Roman Riding is standing on two horses, one foot on each horse. Throughout the fair, JD Winslow equestrian entertainment will feature a Roman Rider traveling the fairgrounds and bringing a whole new sense of wonderment to a longlasting equestrian sport. As always, fair goers can also pay a visit to the stables of the Chenango County fairgrounds. GARDEN TRACTOR PULLS AT THE CHENANGO COUNTY FAIR By Kieran Coffey kcoffey@evesun.com The Brookfield Garden Tractor Pullers Association Inc. is a small organization, located in Greenwich, NY. 2016 Chenango County Fair • Published by The Evening Sun & Pennysaver Page 19 for s r a d n Cale r u o Y Mark 170th Year air the Co. F o g n a TH en TH h C e h of t -13 , 8 T S U AUG 2017 The group performs shows at County Fairs, Fire Department Carnivals, and various different fundraisers. They offer 22 different classes of garden tractor pulls, ranging from eight horsepower or less, all the way up to four-cylinder modified garden tractors. For those who don’t know, Garden Tractor pulls involve using modified garden tractors to pull a heavy sled along a 35 foot wide, 100 meter (330 foot) long track, with the winner being the tractor or truck that pulls the sled the farthest. All tractors in their respective classes pull a set weight in the sled. When a tractor or truck gets to the end of the track, this is known as a "full pull". When more than one tractor or truck completes a "full pull", more weight is added to the sled, and those competitors compete in a pull-off. The winner is the one who can pull the sled the longest length of the track. The sleds weigh approximately 6,000 or more pounds. The speed at which the weighted box moves up the sled, and the gearing applied, both control the difficulty of the pull. The sled is set and controlled by the sled master.

People from all over the state flock to see certain attractions like the petting zoo, demolition derby, live entertainment, fireworks, and last but certainly not least: the food. It goes without saying that food vendors are a staple at the Chenango County fair, with vendors from near and far showcasing their delicious treats. All week long, the fair food vendors will be set up and ready to please your taste buds. Aside from scrumptious funnel cakes, candy apples, homemade taffy, and fried you-name-its, local vendors from Norwich and the Chenango County area are also an instrumental part of the food culture at the fair.

That’s teamwork... working for you! Anyone who’s walked a lap at the Chenango County Fair has seen the different rides, food vendors, game booths, and animals. But tucked away inside the exhibition hall is a part of the fair that many people over look. The exhibition area at the Chenango County Fair showcases some of the most interesting products of the county. Some commercial businesses will be set up on the east side of the exhibition hall to sell and advertise their products. On the west side of the exhibition hall is one of the more exciting parts of the fair: the exhibit entries. People from around the county enter their maple syrup, farm-crops, forest crops, hay, wheat, oats, corn, and almost any other kinds of vegetable to be spectated and judged. “We want to focus on the fact that the County Fair is agriculturally based,” said exhibition Hall volunteer Karen Edwards. “There will be just about any kind of vegetable that you can think of available for judging.” While at the Chenango County Fair this year, don’t overlook the exhibition hall where some of the county’s finest commodities are on display. NYSEG: HIGHLIGHTING SAFETY AT THE FAIR Show will be August 9th at 10:30 a.m., 1:00 p.m. and 7:30 p.m. Behind the Demolition Derby stands by the back gate at Maydole Street Making sure their customers are safe is NYSEG’s top priority. And what better way to communicate the importance of taking personal responsibility for safety than with a powerful live-line demonstration? Under normal operating conditions, NYSEG’s electricity delivery system is extremely safe. However, dangerous conditions can result when a Page 22 2016 Chenango County Fair • Published by The Evening Sun & Pennysaver storm or motor vehicle accident damages that system. NYSEG’s expert line mechanics will become teachers at the fair, using a replica of an electricity delivery system to show how electricity can travel when the delivery system is damaged, and most importantly how to stay out of its way. NYSEG, a subsidiary of Iberdrola USA, serves 881,000 electricity customers and 263,000 natural gas customers across more than 40% of upstate New York. Iberdrola USA, which is a subsidiary of global energy leader Iberdrola, S.A., is an energy service and delivery company with nearly 3 million customers in upstate New York and New England. They are a team of dedicated individuals working as one to deliver value to their customers, employees, and shareholders.

In addition to the displays there will also be two creation-stations, sponsored by Chobani, that will allow people to put together a meal or product themselves. This may include things like making baklava, putting together a yogurt mix, or even learning firsthand how to cook with wine.

The theme for this year’s show is “Victorian” in celebration of the history of Chenango County and the many Victorian inspired homes that remain in the area today. The flower shower is divided into two sections: horticulture and design. The horticulture section includes garden-style plants to be judged and properly named by experts in attendance at the show. The design section, which is run by Mary Musson, consists of many different Victorian-inspired categories this year where people can submit their own creations. Be sure to check out the flower show at this year’s Chenango County Fair located at the back of the exhibition hall. AMERICAN FIREWORKS American Fireworks Manufacturing Company Inc. began its roots in the United States when Vincenzo Speciale emmigrated from Palermo, Sicily leaving behind two generations of Master Pyrotechnicians. When Vincenzo arrived in the U.S., he started The Italian American Fireworks Company. With the help of his son Joseph they built up the business as one of New York State's leaders in display fire- works. Joseph became a Master Pyrotechnician under his father's guidance. Vincenzo died in 1936 leaving Joseph in charge of the growing company. With the outbreak of World War II, the fireworks display business came to an abrupt halt. Joseph used his pyrotechnic knowledge to manufacture grenades to help the war effort. After the war, fireworks once again thrived. Joseph shortened the company name to the American Fireworks Mfg. Co. Business was booming for the new American Fireworks. The whole family was involved in the manufacturing processes of making enough fireworks for the many displays and customers. After dinner and the dishes were done, the kitchen table was used to roll the paper cases and tubes that would be taken up to the shop on Dutch Hill Road. These tubes and cases would be filled with the secret ingredients to make them into Fireworks. (The Dutch Hill Road Facility in Frankfort N.Y. is still in use today). American Fireworks Mfg. Co. was now considered the largest manufacturer of display Fireworks in New York State.

The company entered the 1990s with steady growth, more leadership help was needed. Vincent hired Kevin Fritschler, a seasoned pyrotechnician, to help oversee the company's operations. Vincent taught Kevin all aspects of the business as he had learned from his father. Under Vincent's guidance and supervision, Kevin also became a Master Pyrotechnician. With the constant growth in the displays, American Fireworks has been forced to outsource much of its manufacturing today. Our products are still made with the same high quality old world traditions as always. Many products still use the secret formulas brought over with Vincenzo Speciale from Palermo, Sicily in a little black book. Their specialty line of manufactured fireworks products are still made in rural upstate New York. Many high volume fireworks items are manufactured in China, Spain and Japan. Some of these items are made at a factory in China that works exclusively with the American Fireworks Mfg. Co. Inc. Where ever the products are made, Vincent and Kevin constantly check on production to ensure the safety and high quality of their products. From making products on the family's kitchen table to internationally located factories, hand firing displays with a cigar to computerfired pyro musicals, American Fireworks continues to evolve into the future as a fireworks leader.
