Dutchess County Fair Gets Its Own Hard Cider

Cidery is set to unveil a special cider at this year's Dutchess County Fair in Rhinebeck, NY.

Everyone is gearing up for the 177th Dutchess County Fair which takes place Aug 22-27, featuring plenty of the usual family fun. It's always a good time taking in the fair each year, and the grandstand entertainment. Also, memories of many years taking the show on the road and doing live broadcasts from the fairgrounds.

The Dutchess County Fair is usually during the last full week in August. Currently, the fair hosts approximately half a million people per year, and is the second-largest county Fair in New York State. A big part of going to the fair each year is of course the great fair food that is always offered. Check out last year's 30 Best Foods available at the Dutchess County Fair.
