Marlboro Fair to highlight|Hogback conservation efforts

MARLBORO — Hogback Mountain will be in the celebration spotlight as residents of Marlboro celebrate their Inner Wild Hog at the 27th annual Marlboro Fair on Saturday, Sept. 12.

The fair will take place in Muster Field, Ames Hill from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. Events include a scavenger hunt, pig piñata, and “Iron [man] Pig” for adults, an “Iron Piglet” for kids, live music and dancing, and tea with scones.

At the Hogback Mountain Conservation Association's tent, multiple exhibits will highlight the mountain's past and present.

Those attending can see successful fundraising efforts to conserve the 600-acre area for use as a public, low-impact recreational area, and learn about an 18th-century cellar hole on the mountain, vernal pools, or the former Hogback Ski Area.
