Syracuse Local Custom Tips by davecallahan
Syracuse Local Customs: 5 reviews and 2 photos
This is really in Geddes, NY which is a suburb of Syracuse.
Several stages of live music playing country, rock and ethnic arrangements (state and national celebrities). 4-H style agricultural and animal displays and judging; bake-offs and jelly/jam contests. There are rows and rows of gaming booths for kids and adults ("com'on up 'n win a bear").
Midway rides are shipped and setup for the week. The local historical societies will have booths and displays and there are always a few politicians with handouts.
There are butter scupltures and fiddle players; photo cutouts to stick your head in and chalk caricatures you can have drawn. Ride a ferris wheel, a meery go round or a small, rickety roller coaster. The kids love the spook house and the duck pond.
All kinds of high cholesterol, high fat, high sugar, great tasting food is for sale along with their accompanying beverages. It is loud, it is crowded, it is dusty, it is great, it is the state fair.
Entry fee is $10 plus additional costs for rides (buy rolls of tickets) and for the games and the food. Kids under 13 are free. There is some handicap access. Restrooms are available as well as johnny on the spot portable potties.
Parking is $5 per day.
The fair runs for a week around the Labor Day holiday. see the website below for exact times and dates for this year.
to get there:
State Fair Boulevard
I-90 NYS Thruway exit 39 and follow the brown signs
