Concession Trailer

Healthy cuisine hitches a ride

26.06.11

POTSDAM — Healthy food will be rolling through the north country this summer.

A Good to Go trailer selling nutritious alternatives to concession food is set to begin operating at public events in St. Lawrence County in July. The trailer will be funded and operated by the St. Lawrence County Health initiative, a nonprofit organization established in 1999 to acquire and share health-related information, grants and other resources with people and agencies in the county.

"It used to be a cotton candy trailer, but there's not cotton candy anymore," said Ruth A. Fishbeck, the health initiative's executive director. "We did a survey a few years back where people in the community said that there's no place to get anything remotely healthy at all of these community events. What we're ultimately hoping is that it'll be self-sufficient."

Canton Fireman's Fair kicks off

CANTON - What to do, what to do?

At the opening night of the 57th Annual Canton Fireman's Fair Tuesday, there were many answers to that question.

You could ride the rides, learn about macro invertebrates in the water, have a chicken dinner, get your face painted, buy a craft, listen to Christian music by some local musicians, smash a car for fun, check out the fire department's newly acquired rescue truck, play some games, and … much more.

Samantha Wood of Blossburg, who attended the opening night of the fair Tuesday with her children, Jesse Castle, 5, and Kayden Wood, 2, knew what they were going to do.

"The kids have to ride the dragon roller coaster and the train," she said.
