An independent view of the New York State Fair

Your Ideas Wanted

When a Thursday rolls around, quite often we remember that the New York State Fair always opens on a Thursday, so you could say we’re one week closer to opening day 2015. OK, so it’s 49 weeks away, giving us plenty of time to anticipate, plan and voice ideas and opinions.

Coincidentally, the Dept. of Agriculture and Markets sent out an email on Thursday encouraging suggestions and ideas from the general public. So come on, jump in. It’s easy enough, just email to statefairideas@agriculture.ny.gov.

State Fair Hound readers know we’ve already ventured few, including improving the Chevy Court experience, expanding on the Agricultural Extravaganza, bringing back Toothpick City, featuring a daredevil act like a jet pack flyer or Nik Wallenda and reducing paid-admission acts, even if it means raising gate prices.

Of course, Fairgoers’ annual requests will score high—more rest rooms, more benches and strawberry milk. OK, if you must, ask for those. But don’t forget to request your favorite musical acts and endorse the appointment of Troy Waffner as permanent director.

      I’ve heard several comments from people who miss the Lottery Pavilion being at Chevy Court. You can make your suggestion to the Fair by submitting a comment on the website, nysfair.org. Thanks for contacting us and for reading State Fair Hound.
