Cambridge Man Tells How Fair Located AtSchaghlicoke How the Rensselaer County Agricultural Society's fair came to locate in Schaghticoke where now it is known as the Schaghticoke Fair, is related in a history of that happening written by Frank Brockett of Cambridge, formerly of Johnsonville. Mr. Brockett writes that he'is the survivor of the trio which made that location possible.

The other two' men were Frank Velie and Frank Buckley. The society had, for many years, conducted its annual fair on leased grounds in Lansingburg. In 1919 the ground was purchased by a real estate development firm and into building lots, leaving the fair without a location. In mid-Noveniber of 1919, Mr. Brockett writes, at a time when he was manager of the Brockett Lumber of Johnsonville, Mr.

Velie came into the office opposite the old ax factory on the River Road; obviously in a disturbed frame of mind, Velie replied, to Brockett's query. "1 am a director of the Agricultural Society and we have just been notified that if we do not hold our fair before December 1 we will lose our charter and be without state benefits. I. am her to ask you if you will rent us the old ax factory buildings for three days next week to hold the fair. I believe that the buildings are spacious enough if you can arrange it." Mr.

Brockett explains that the ax factory was used then by his firm as a stable. With Mr. Velie, he went across the road into the old factory while they planned possible arrangements.
