62nd Annual Dairy Festival Days - Deja MOO
FRIDAY JUNE 5 + SATURDAY JUNE 6 

WATCH THIS SPACE FOR WEATHER-RELATED UPDATES
☀️🌧️ GREEN LIGHT FOR DAIRY FEST! The 1  p.m.  Parade is officially a GO!

It’s 10 a.m.  on Saturday, and we have our final weather determination: All Dairy Festival Days activities are moving forward exactly as scheduled today, including our giant 1 p.m.  Parade!

While we might see some light rain and passing showers throughout the day, thunderstorms are absolutely not a threat. In true North Country style, a little drizzle isn't going to dampen our spirits—so grab your ponchos, bring your umbrellas, and come celebrate with us!

🎉 What a Night!
We kicked things off last night in spectacular fashion on the Village Green:

The Big Wheel Races were incredibly spirited, featuring nearly 40 young racers tearing up the track in front of an awesome hometown crowd! 🏁

The Block Dance kept the energy soaring with a massive crowd of dancers grooving to the fantastic sounds of Steelin' Country and the Adirondack Playboys. 🎸🎻

A Surprise Highlight: The crowd was treated to a spectacular special guest appearance by fire dancer Jon Lynch, who absolutely lit up the night! 🔥✨

📅 Today's Schedule (Saturday, June 6)
The fun doesn't stop. Head downtown to enjoy the final day of the festival:

All Day: Vendor booths, food trucks, and kids' activities on the Village Green.

The Main Event: The FFA Alumni Chicken Barbecue! A true festival staple, the FFA Alumni have been serving up their famous chicken at Dairy Fest for more than 30 years. Make sure to grab a dinner and support a wonderful tradition! 🍗🔥

1:00 PM: The Annual Dairy Festival Days Parade! (Line up along the route and show our community entries some major love!)

Thank you to everyone who made last night so magical. Let's keep that incredible momentum rolling today. See you at the parade! 🥛🍦🎉
