Thursday is Student Youth Day at the New York State Fair as kids 18 years of age and under are admitted free. Their spunky energy and youthful ideas go a long way to making the Fair fabulous, from animal barns to 4-H exhibits, performance stages and vendor staff. When they’re not on the job, these youngsters make the most of their off time by getting crazy on the midway and wandering the grounds.

It’s also Agriculture Career Day for young people to learn about a wide variety of Agriculture career options and connect directly with ag industry representatives.
