Record-Breaking Great NYS Fair

The Great New York State Fair has come to a close and it generated its highest level of attendance in its 175-year history. Over one million visitors passed through the redesigned main gate. Four lifetime passes and a host of Fair-related gifts were given to record-setting visitor number 1,011,249 from Onondaga County. Troy Waffner, Acting Fair Director said, “From the historic renovations, to the addition of new food vendors and attractions, this has truly been our greatest Fair yet.” There is now a schedule of year-round events at nysfair.ny.gov.
