‼️ NOTE FOR ANYONE CONSIDERING VISITING US AT The Great New York State Fair TODAY:

The Fair has reopened following this morning’s storms, but flooding remains an issue on the grounds and in parking areas. The Grey Lot is currently closed, and we’re also hearing reports of flooding along sections of I-81.

⚠️ Please use caution and allow extra time if you’re heading to the Fair today.

Another weather system is expected to move through this evening, bringing additional rain. Keep an eye on the weather and travel conditions throughout the day, and stay safe!

Please contact your youth if they plan to attend the fair today and advise accordingly.

Our natural resource educator positively identified jumping worms from the woodchip pile at the Town of Potsdam Highway Department. We thank them for being proactive and vigilant for their residents!

Jumping worms have been present in Potsdam and other St. Lawrence County communities for several years. There currently is no viable jumping worm control method, but YOU can prevent their spread!

• don't use woodchips, soil, or other organic matter from known locations of jumping worms
• only buy compost that is heat-treated, or heat in the sun for 3 days to a minimum temperature of 104 °F
• DO NOT buy/use jumping worms for bait, vermicomposting, or gardening
• thoroughly clean gardening tools, shoes, and equipment before moving to and from sites
• share or move only bare root plants
• if you suspect you have found invasive jumping worms, please contact CCE for identification and advice
