The New York State Fair
from Failing Up · host Timothy Mahar
The end of summer tradition, the New York State Fair. Most states have a fair and in the case of New York it takes place at the end of August and ends on Labor Day. Once the clock strikes midnight a switch is flipped and it is autumn in New York. The Fair is an annual touchstone of fried food, rides, cows, horses, music, all kinds of exhibitions, sweating people, games and more. If you it can be fried it's at the Fair. The constant and comfort is that no matter what is going on in the world, no matter how divided when you enter gate at the Fair, you are fair-goer a part of a community buying cowboy hats, eating everything fried and sticky, and winning a big pink rabbit! timothymahar.org
