As you should know, the Sunshine Fair is underway this week. If you don’t you don’t know what you are missing! Nestled on the southside of Cobleskill, the Sunshine Fairgrounds have been hosting the local fair for 134 years now, and have gotten pretty good at it, seeing how they are a New York Blue Ribbon Award winning fair.

Of course there is the animal barns, local crafts, and the midway, but the Sunshine Fair also goes out of their way to find great entertainment as well.

Tonight you will find Joby Rogers Michael Jackson Tribute Show at 3 and 7pm.

Friday is the Adam D Trucker tribute to Tim McGraw at 3 and 7pm, and then Ernie Williams at 9pm.

Saturday, Peter Noone and Herman’s Hermits.

And don’t worry, more fairs abound!

The Herkimer County Fair starts Tuesday, August 17th.

The Fonda Fair starts on Tuesday, August 31st.
