LOWVILLE â It was 201 years in the making but the 200th edition of the Lewis County Fair opened Tuesday.
Just before the annual parade was about to begin at 7 p.m. Tuesday, heavy rain began pouring down, canceling the event. Lewis County Fair board members confirmed it would not be rescheduled.
But the rain didnât dampen spirits roughly 1,000 people gathered at the fairgrounds for the fairâs opening day.
Kaitlyn Ward Lee played the bagpipes as a crowd of about 100 gather at the fairgrounds gate off Bostwick Street. Lewis County Agricultural Society Board of Directors President Douglas P. Hanno in his opening remarks noted it was a great accomplishment to reach the bicentennial of the fair.

WATERTOWN â Last week, a panel charged by the state Legislature with presenting recommendations on potentially lowering the overtime threshold for farm workers below 60 hours decided to postpone making any policy decision until later in 2021, giving beleaguered farmers a reprieve, at least for now.
Farmers, labor groups and justice advocates had been watching the proceedings of the three-member Farm Wage Board since it was formed and began hearings in the beginning of 2021 as charged by the 2019 Farm Laborers Fair Practices Act passed by the Legislature. Despite being temporarily derailed by the pandemic, the panel proceeded with multiple hearings to gather public input on whether the state should lower the threshold after which farm workers are required to be paid overtime from its current point of 60 hours per week as set by the 2019 law.
