Chobani has been valued at more than $10 billion and was started back in 2005 quite modestly by Turkish immigrant Hamdi Ulukaya, who after coming to the United States, took out a small loan and bought an old yogurt plant in Edmeston, NY.
Chobani is hosting its sixth annual Community Giveaway at the Chenango County Fairgrounds in Norwich to show appreciation to the Central New York region.
Novice and experienced runners are encouraged to register for the upcoming Chobani Chamber Trail Run, scheduled this year for Sunday, September 30th. This is the third annual run and features both 5K and 10K runs for both men and women.
The 171st annual Chenango County Fair opens Tuesday at the fairgrounds on East Main St. in Norwich, and thanks to the generosity of Chobani, admission is free!. Gates open at 10:30 with NYSEG electric demonstrations scheduled throughout the day, harness racing and entertainment in the grandstand by the Peter Karp Band.
