The Demolition Derby is always a popular event at the Washington County Fair that runs August 19-25 at the historic fairgrounds off Route 29 in Greenwich\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

The Washington County Fair is ushering in its 2013 edition with a new theme song.
\nEntitled, “It’s That Time of Year,” the song made its debut in the fair’s new TV commercial, produced by Behan Communications of Glens Falls. Fair officials said that in keeping with the fair’s traditions, the song is a the fruit of a collaborative effort between three former Hudson Falls High School classmates.<\/p>\n

Ida (Marns) Williams, the fair’s marketing and public relations representative, called upon Behan Communications’ Vice President John Brodt to develop a concept for a new commercial that would highlight the event’s appeal as a traditional, educational and enjoyable family experience. Brodt envisioned telling the fair’s story with a song and, after writing the lyrics, turned to highly regarded musician Jonathan Newell to compose and record it.
\nWilliams, Brodt and Newell are all Washington County natives who graduated together with the Hudson Falls High School Class of 1982.<\/p>\n

“I call it the HFHS classmate trifecta,” Ms. Williams said. “We actually produced the commercial last year — 30 years after we were sitting in classrooms together.”<\/p>\n

“The Washington County Fair revolves around things that are locally grown or raised, so it’s really special that the three of us fall into those categories, as well,” Williams added. The commercial, which was shot during last year’s Fair, stars Glens Falls residents Ryan and Aarika Van Amburgh; their children, Carter and Sofie; and Aarika’s parents Paul and Jane Wooley of Greenwich.<\/p>\n

The commercial can be viewed at www.washingtoncountyfair.com.<\/p>\n

The Washington County Fair runs August 19-25 at the historic fairgrounds off Route 29 in Greenwich.<\/p>\n

The fair this year will open with two days of Pro-Rodeo.<\/p>\n

On Wednesday and Thursday in the Agriculture Center, people can stop by to meet Sarah Kaufmann, Guinness World Record holder of cheese caving. She will be carving 80 pounds of cheddar.<\/p>\n
