NORWICH – June is dairy month and in the spirit of all things dairy, the local agricultural community is pulling together for a day of celebration, agricultural education and fun activities for the 12th annual Dairy Day, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Saturday at the Chenango County fairgrounds.

The day kicks-off with the annual 5K Milk Run at 9 a.m. at the race track gate on East Main Street, followed by the Dairy Day Parade at 10:30. The parade – a traditional spectacle of tractors, milk trucks, bands, farm animals and more – will lead off from the Tops parking lot and make its way down East Main Street before finishing at the fairgrounds.

“We’re hoping to get a lot of families and we really try to emphasize activities for the kids and enough interesting things for the adults too,” said Dairy Day coordinator Marge Davis.
