Town Council
Hi, I’m Conrad Cook. I graduated from Parishville-Hopkinton Central School in 1961 and as a student was active in 4-H and FFA. Our family showed registered cattle at the County Fairs for 27 years and I attended Camp Overlook for 13 years. I attended Cornell University and was on the Varsity Rifle Team and received both a B.S. and Masters Degree. Following Cornell, I taught Agriculture at Lisbon School for 5 years and received the Outstanding NYS Teacher’s Award in agriculture. In 1971 I married Yvonne Deshaies from Massena and returned to the family farm where we raised 5 children. After the barn fire in 2004 we switched from dairy farming to selling hay. I was elected to the Town Board in 1997. For hobbies I enjoy hunting and Old Timers Softball.
