New York State Fair Demonstrations

How did they do it in the old days?

Members were again in the Daniel Parrish Witter Agricultural Museum for all 13 days of the 2019 New York State Fair demonstrating just that!  No electric power, just human power! We were not there in 2020 due to the Covid-19 pandemic and are still not sure what will happen in 2021.  If the NYS Fair happens, the club will have some sort of display even though the length is now extended to 21 days.
  
We show how farmers and other artisans used tools like chisels, planes, saws, treadle scrollsaws, treadle lathes, spring pole lathes, and even the shaving horse to make furniture, bowls, toys, whatever 100 years ago!  If you stopped by this year, we appreciate that you purchased raffle tickets for the twelve items made by members or purchased one of over 600 finger spin tops we had for sale!  


Thank You for Visiting Us During the 2018 & 2019 New York State Fair!

As a result of our tops sales, we were able to donate money to both the McMahon/Ryan Child Advocacy Center and the Friends of the Daniel Parrish Witter Agricultural Museum.
