Ferris Wheel
It’s almost New York State Fair time! Preparations I’m sure have begun to prepare the fairgrounds for thousands and thousands of visitors arriving Thursday, August 27th, 2015. I just WISH I had access to the Fairgrounds during the few weeks before Opening Day to document and witness the amazing transformation that occurs. (So if anyone has connections, let me know! 🙂
Not being a native “Syracusian” my fascination with the Fair has not dwindled. Not. One. Bit. I feel sad when I hear lifelong residents dismiss the Fair and basically take it for granted. I just love the action and excitement the Fair brings, there is never a dull moment! Not only does the Fair highlight local businesses and talent, it promotes New York State as a whole and shows visitors just what a wonderful place we live in!
Since my first trip to the NYS Fair in 1988 I have seen SO many transformations and many, many improvements. The Midway used to have 5 benches at most – now it has at least 30. The seating at Miller Court/Cole Muffler Court/Chevy Court has expanded and more and more picnic tables have been added to the coveted tree lined shaded grassy knoll in front of the Horticulture Building. Trash cans are emptied constantly and the bathrooms are cleaner than ever! (However, I still have my favorite clean-and-short-line-for-females favorites but that’s a different post)
So much more to come on this blog! Thank you for following 🙂
