There was a lot happening in Walton over the weekend. The Delaware County Fair had been going on all weekend. It was not mentioned if this had any ties to the fair, which wrapped up yesterday.

New York State Police, the Local fire department, and New York State Forest Rangers all jumped into action. From the photos shared by the New York State Police, you can see there was a big group out looking for the missing women.

Troopers used K9 units and patrols on the ground. They also had drones in the air. Members from the emergency management unit were on site helping too.
