You may have heard on Channel 5 news Wednesday at Noon that Wednesday would have been the first day of the canceled New York State Fair. Actually, the 18-day Fair was set to start on Friday, Aug. 21. It's simple math--the Fair always ends on Labor Day. Count backward 18 days and you open on Aug. 21. As usual, you can't trust the news you get from the station's parent company, Sinclair Broadcasting.
