Hawk Creek Wildlife sets up a tent with a variety of raptor next to the reflecting pool. Visitors can get a rare up-close look at eagles, falcons , hawks, owls and other feathered hunters. Lectures and demonstrations are scheduled daily. It’s one of the Fair’s best wildlife exhibits. 

A wood craftsman works on a lathe in the Agriculture Museum. Many talented demonstrators show their skills close-up every day.

A handmade rug with the New York State Fair logo was one of many projects on display as part of the arts and crafts competition in the Art and Home Center. The A&H is loaded with examples of the artistic talent of New Yorkers, making it a great place to spend time on rainy or excessively hot days at the Fair.
