Keep this in mind if you are debating about coming or just not certain if your team is ready.  This is about having fun, but it is also amazing what an effect participating can have on a group.  It not only shows them what other teams are doing, but it gets them excited, more strongly enthused, boosts team morale, and broadens their view by showing how we may be on separate teams, but we are one big clogging family.

The Orange County Fair has also moved to the other side of the road on Route 20 in Orange County.

As one of the Directors said in 2009, 

"It's like coming to a family reunion.  We know each other, we hear about each other,  but we never really get to see each other except at events like this."

It meant a lot to the Orange Cloggers hear this kind of response.  The clogging community is like a big family and we pride ourselves at being able to put together a competition that we think of more as a chance for teams to come together in a family atmosphere to see each other, show off what we can do, and most importantly have fun together.

We welcome back all our returning teams and our first time guests.

Dear Orange Cloggers:
 
I want to congratulate you on having a wonderful event at the fair.  Our team looked so forward to coming back this year.  Everyone is so nice and helpful.  The fair gives a great setting for a very enjoyable day.  Most competitions you go to you are in a building for a long day but your venue is wonderful.  We love the food vendors and especially loved the piglet races.  Since we are from Pennsylvania it seems like our team sits on the outside of the clogging world and we appreciated all your comments and the fact that you included us in your family.
