The 161st Oswego County Fair is August 8th to 12th this year. Sandy Creek History Center will have a booth at the Heritage Building featuring the Blount Lumber Company.

Please stop by the booth to help name workers or leave your memory of working at Blount. A book is being written to document the history of this business that employed so many local people for 98 years. A Pomeroy historic marker was installed on the old Blount Lumber Company property on DeMott Street, Lacona. Sandy Creek News: August 20, 1914 The Blount Lumber Company closed down Monday night and will openup again Saturday. So many of its employees desired to attend the fair that the company was compelled to shut down, although rushed with orders.
