The Altamor.t Enterprise — Thursday, July 14, 1983 Punkintown Fair Only 15 Days Off By HAROLD LONNSTROM At New Salem, a hamlet quite small, There's a big little fair run for all. It's called Punkintown Fair. Family fun is found there, So the small and the tall have a ball. It's a fair and square bet they do. The friendly New Salem volunteer firemen, who own and operate Punkintown Fair, see to it. They have a selfish motive for doing so, for they are a fun-loving bunch. You see, if fair patrons don't have a ball then they don't have a ball. But fun is not the only reason Punkintown Fair is run. It provides New Salem Volunteer Fire Depart- ment with a few sordid shekels which go towards its annual expenses. So there, you have two self- satisfying reasons for getting to Punkintown Fair. You help your- self to a fair amount of fun besides helping the fire department. Fair's When and Where Punkintown Fair starts its 41st season of family fun, Friday, July 29, 7 p.m. and continues the next day, Saturday, July 30, 6:30 p.m. Then, to ghrcvyoiua chance to rest up for another weekend of fun, it holds over to Friday and Saturday, August 5-6, at the same times. .

NYS tourism Up During Fourth Fireworks weren't the only things booming -in the New York State during the Fourth of July weekend — so was tourism, according to the State Department of Commerce. Fourth of July motel, hotel and resort occupancy in the state outside of New York City stood at 88.3 percent, a rise of 9.4 percent over the holiday weekend.of 1982. Reasons suggest- ed by state officials included the nation's emergence from the recession, a good hot-weather period, more effective local and state tourist promotion, and a noticeable increase in the number of Canadian visitors, in spite of unfavorable currency, exchange rates.
