The open-air sheep barn no longer stands next to the goat building at the new York State Fair. DEMOLISHED SHEEP 19The roof was torn off during a winter storm and the structure was subsequently demolished, leaving the pile of rubble pictured here.

Never fear, sheep fans, the curly cuties will make their appearance this year in a new location, a couple of hundred yards west, next to the 4-H horse ring. A temporary structure being erected for this year will be replaced by a more permanent barn for 2020.

There seem to be fewer infrastructure changes this year compared to the past few, but count on State Fair Hound to keep you updated.
