Hi everyone! I’ve been remiss with my blog updates but I’m baaaaccck!
So, we all know that advance tickets to the Fair are on sale and by now we know that Miranda Lambert will be the debut act performing at the new Lakeview Amphitheater, located away from the NYS Fairgrounds on Thursday, September 3rd, 2015. This is the same night that Patti LaBelle is scheduled to perform the last concert EVER at the NYS Fair Grandstand – the End of an Era. It seems unfair to make fans choose but I suppose the thought process was to let folks who like Ms. LaBelle’s music enjoy her performance while the country fans (Blake Shelton fans included) pay big time to see Miranda over at the “New” place. Or perhaps Ms. Lambert’s schedule was inflexible? Whatever the case, I feel the Grandstand should have been allowed to go out with a BANG! This would in turn (in theory) create excitement for the new “replacement” venue across the highway. I’m sure in time the new amphitheater will be the “it” place for concerts but for those of us who will be in the transitional stage, however long that lasts, it kinda just sucks. 🙁 #nysfair #lakeviewampitheater #nysfairgrandstand #changesucks #nysfairchanges
