One of the big improvements this year at the Grahamsville Little World’s Fair was the rebuilding of a foot bridge connecting the parking area with the fairgrounds. Here Anthony Garigliano, a Neversink Agricultural Society member and Fair Director, crosses over the bridge. M & L Masonry and Garigliano Contracting donated material for the new bridge and many fair directors volunteered their time to construct it, just in time for this year. A special surprise is planned for the bridge for next year – stay tuned.
