State Fair Hound is always in favor of more focus on the original residents of what is now New York State, so we look forward to Six Nations Day, Friday, Sep. 4.
Traditional dancers, long a fan favorite on the Iroquois Village stage, will perform in authentic Haudenosaunee garb at Chevy Court at 1 p.m. A performance by ethnically-appropriate Syracuse band the Ripcords will follow at 2 p.m.
Visitors to the Village will find newly-paved walkways where gravel paths had long been in place, a response to requests for more accessibility for people in wheelchairs and parents pushing strollers.
The deck on the cookhouse has also been improved, expanding space for dining and relaxing outdoors in the Fair’s most peaceful locale. Don’t miss the replica longhouse, agricultural exhibits, Six Nations artwork and those one-of-a-kind, hand-crafted items for sale by the native vendors.
