YOU Team Engages Public at Dutchess County Fair

YOU team members were on hand recently for the sixth annual “ThinkDIFFERENTLY Thursday" at the Dutchess County Fair.

Individuals with developmental disabilities and their families were able to enjoy the Dutchess County Fair ahead of the crowds with a special early gate opening at 9 a.m. and sensory sensitive hours on the carnival midway from 9:30 a.m. to noon.

The YOU team also stayed later in the day to greet other visitors to the fair. The team has traveled throughout the county to raise awareness about the project and to receive feedback.

The Dutchess County Fair is the second-largest county fair in the state and features live entertainment, carnival rides, agricultural exhibits, horticultural displays, and much more.
