Congratulations are in order to New York State Fair spokesperson Dave Bullard who was honored last week by the Syracuse Press Club. Dave received the Philip A. Hoffman President’s Award as the best news source for his work in spreading the word about the Fair and assisting the journalists who cover it. DAVE MIDWAY 16

The award recognizes that, as the Fair’s lead PR guy, Dave is a top-notch ambassador for the Empire State’s greatest event, but let’s not forget that he supplements his efficiency and responsiveness with a warm, witty, charming personality that make it a pleasure for the media types who depend on him to get the scoop on the Great New York State Fair.

Dave’s enthusiasm for the Fair is genuine and he makes it contagious.
