The Meredith Dairy Fest will not be held this June.

Members of the Meridale Fire Department voted to cancel the event, which has been an annual event on the Catskill Turnpike since the late 1990s. The Dairy Fest was founded by two leading members of the department, John Hamilton and Bob Pelinsky, to raise funds and promote dairy farming. It has typically attracted an estimated 10,000 visitors to animal exhibits, children’s rides, concerts, vendor displays and games such as cow-plop bingo.

According to some members, the vote to cancel was based on several factors, including the vagaries of weather. Last year winds damaged tents before the start of the Dairy Fest, requiring their last-minute replacement; heavy rains then held down attendance. A few years ago,  severe winds ripped down tents and forced cancellation of the event.
