By now you should be planning your trip(s) to the 2015 New York State Fair, so here’s a reminder to stop by the Grange Building, which is opposite the Dairy Products Building back door, behind the milk bar, to tour the State Fair history exhibit.

The second year of the display, 2014, included subtle changes to an artistic and fascinating stroll through photos, artifacts and text that every State Fair aficionado should re-visit annually. We’ve found that each trip you make brings new discoveries and triggers warm memories. We often hear patrons commenting on events they remember, concerts they attended and history they witnessed there. The souvenir shop is a great spot to find one-of-a-kind Fair memorabilia to take home.

Speaking of Fair memorabilia, the New York State Department of Transportation setup in the Center of Progress Building will be accepting applications for a new license plate featuring the State Fair logo. We’ll visit DOT during the Fair and report back with all the details.
