Capitol Update Friday, August 01, 2014 The latest news from the State Capitol Potter County Fair Draws to a Close   Thank you to everyone who came out to my table at the Potter County Fair this year. I hope you enjoyed it as much as I did. And thanks to my family, friends and staff for helping out! Pictured here are my son Matthew, mom Sandy, daughters Morgan and Mallory, me and Bill Dunn. The Cameron County Fair is up next on Aug. 3-9, followed by the McKean County Fair on Aug. 9-16.     Congratulations to all of the men and women who work so hard to make the fair a success. I was happy to have the opportunity to help recognize their hard work by taking part in a check presentation from the Pennsylvania Fair Fund. Pictured with me, left to right, are Dave Erhard, president of the Potter County Fair Association; Boots Hetherington, special advisor to the governor on agriculture; Sue Plumstead, secretary of the Potter County Fair Association; and Natalie Brewer, Plumstead’s granddaughter.                              Reminder: Senior Citizens Expo Next Friday Be sure to stop by the annual Senior Citizens Expo next Friday, Aug. 8, at the University of Pittsburgh at Bradford Sports and Fitness Gymnasium.
