My favorite food at the Schaghticoke Fair was from the Freihofer's booth. Time was they used to hand out free cookies, one to a passerby. They were fruit cookies, with raisins and such. I remember trying to score an extra cookie, honestly enough, by ushering my child, then about 4 years old, into the booth. Take a cookie when offered I told him. He had previously declined their offer.
The Freihofer representative asked him the fatal question, "Would you like a cookie?" "No, thanks," he said, "I don't like raisins." Curses!!
