Since when are farmers deterred by a little rain?
The wet weather might have canceled most activities at the Riverhead Country Fair on Sunday, but the farm and garden contest still went off without a hitch.
Farmers like Sara Hodun of Hodun Farms in Calverton came out to collect her 16 ribbons in the growing competitions.
