FRANKFORT, N.Y. (WKTV) -Tuesday's beautiful weather was just one of many big draws at the Herkimer County Fair in Frankfort.

The fair offers country music every night and a number of free acts.
One of the most popular attractions is the petting zoo.
Organizers say the fair wouldn't be possible without the help of many volunteers.

The family event can teach you something new year after year.

"Agriculture is the purpose of any county fair, and it is our prime target to promote and educate people in agriculture and county fairs are one of the only venues you can promote and educate people on agriculture and we do it very well as you can see our barns are full with the animals," said Gerry Elthorp the Treasurer of the Herkimer County Fair.

The Herkimer County Fair runs through Sunday at the fairgrounds in Frankfort.
