Starting
on August 21, 2014, the NYS Fair takes over the hearts of upstate New Yorkers
for 12 days and nights. The Fair brings together the best
food, music, rides, games, exhibits, animals, agriculture and so much more of
all the things that make New York State special. We asked some of our residents
what their favorite part of the fair is, and here is what they shared with us:
- “The food. It’s always about the food. The more fried – the better! (But please don’t tell my wife I said that…)”
- “I usually go for the music. The free shows are great this year.”
- “I like the rides --a lot. Sometimes my dad has to go with me because my brother chickens out.”
- “The food!”
- “The butter and cheese sculptures are pretty cool.”
- “We try to go to at least 2 or 3 concerts each year. The tickets are free or a really good price. Oh, and I always look forward to the different food.”
- “Our kids love the petting zoo and learning about the animals. Animal facts are pretty much all we hear for weeks after.”
