Although she is grateful for the pledged donations, Altamont Fair Manager Amy Anderson says money for cameras isn’t what is needed right now. 

Altamont fair is hosting “The Porter Challenge” to get fit and have fun. It runs from June 1 through June 30 in honor of Porter Bidleman, a 94-year-old World War II veteran who walks the fairgrounds twice a day with his walker.

COVID-19 claims another annual tradition, as the Altamont Fair recently announced it won’t be held this August.
