Scenes from the Ulster County Fair

This most photogenic of amusement park contraption is apparently called a "swing ride." Descriptive, but somehow not as imaginative as one might expect.

Circus Shane
Shane Hansen has been performing since he was 3 yrs. old with circuses, fairs, halftime shows, TV, cruise ships, movies, and more…

Robinson’s Racing Pigs
Back Again for 2021! The original Robinson’s Racing Pigs! Watch Robinson’s pigs race and swim around the track. Fun for all ages!! Four Shows Daily. Throw down an Oreo cookie and a pig will follow you anywhere. The pigs race four times a day, with a typical race taking less than a minute. Too much fun! And all the pigs were adorable. Robinson’s Racing Pigs and Paddling Porkers, a carnival-type show featuring a miniature race track for pigs, complete with checkered flags and starting gates. This Classic American Fair Entertainment has been a crowd-pleaser at the Ulster Fair for over a decade. The Robinson Racing Pigs have appeared on all major TV networks as well as the tonight show with Johnny Carson and Jay Leno and have become the #1 fair attraction in North America.

Goodnow Family Farm Petting Zoo

Josh Landry – Chain Saw Carver
Watch a 3-foot log turn into an intricate piece of art!  Every performance is an original and captivating high-energy performance. Pick out your favorite piece and place a bid!
All art will be auctioned off on Sunday afternoon.
During a forty-five-minute show, from behind protective netting, onlookers will observe an original and captivating high-energy performance.
With a chain saw roaring and chips flying, our carvers’ precision and skill quickly transform a three-foot-tall log into a true work of art.

Fireworks
Fireworks at the Ulster County FairWednesday Evening at Dusk.  Fireworks at dusk at the Ulster County Fairgrounds. Nothing energizes a crowd like fireworks! Fireworks show are people’s favorite!
