That might be a slight exaggeration but even though Labor Day is the unofficial end of summer, there are still some great events to come in Cortland County.
Say Marathon and most people think Maple Festival. Actually, Marathon’s 1890 Union Fair predates the Maple Festival and just might be the oldest festival in Cortland County. If you’ve never been, the Union Fair is a celebration of the county’s agricultural heritage. The festival features the largest horse parade in the northeast, a quilt show, baked and can goods, vegetables, flowers and livestock. Always the Saturday after Labor Day, this year the Union Fair will be September 11, a great opportunity to get reacquainted with our agricultural roots – so to speak.
