160th New York State Fair

By Chris Ulanowski

Syracuse, NY – The 160th Edition of the New York State Fair is about to get underway. The 12 day event draws near or just over one-million people to the fair grounds near Syracuse.
Some have spent a life-time both visiting and working the fair which is one of the most successful in the nation.
WRVO's Chris Ulanowski reports.

Recent cuts to federal funding are challenging our mission to serve central and upstate New York with trusted journalism, vital local coverage, and the diverse programming that informs and connects our communities. This is the moment to join our community of supporters and help keep journalists on the ground, asking hard questions that matter to our region.

Stand with public media and make your gift today—not just for yourself, but for all who depend on WRVO as a trusted resource and civic cornerstone in central and upstate New York.
