After-dark hours have been especially popular with Fair patrons this year, owing as much to the steamy days as to scheduled concerts and special events. While such major acts as Melissa Etheridge, Nas, the Jacksons, Jason Derulo and the Steve Miller Band shined under Chevy Court’s spotlight, smaller stages from the Pan African Village to the Regional Artists Stage have also kept the music hot as the temperatures cooled. 
Meanwhile the wine village, the Restaurant Row Beer Garden and, of course, the midway made nighttime the right time for many to party down, New York style. Food stands tend to go with the flow, keeping the grills and fryers hot as long as there are customers to feed, giving fairgoers another reason to prolong their visits. 
Cheers to Fair management for extending last call for alcohol a little and to Mother Nature for rain-free evenings, several with a full moon to contrast the neon glow.
