One really good reason to love the Fair is its wide range of exhibits. Sure, it’s the food, the rides and the entertainment, but you can get so much more out of a day touring the grounds.

Last year we told you about Future of Nursing: New York State Action Coalition exhibit in the Hall of Health section of the Science and Industry Building. It’s back this year, to discuss the ongoing and dramatic changes in our health care system and the variety of approaches NYSAC is using to ensure that nurses play a key role in health care transformation in New York. Professional leaders and representatives of New York State colleges that offer nursing programs will be on-hand to discuss a statewide initiative on the future of nursing, and the opportunities available to people interested in pursuing a nursing degree. The Hound loves nurses, so pay them a visit.

While in the neighborhood, visit some of the other exhibits in the Hall of Health which was upgraded with a brighter, cleaner look last year. Health care organizations and charitable groups are on hand with knowledgeable staff to offer advice, referral services and even some free stuff.

Last year we especially appreciated the fire safety display which went from cartoonish to polished and professional. The kids will love it.
