Diverse City
Salute the rainbow flag on Friday–Pride Day at the New York State Fair.
Special features and events are scheduled throughout the day. In previous years the culmination of Pride Day has been a diversity-themed parade, but not this year.
Also on day eight, 100 new Americans will be sworn in at Noon in the restaurant in the Art and Home Center.
Frankly Speaking
It takes a large team of engineers, mechanics, inspectors, operators and ticket sellers to make that show run day and night for 18 days. That Wades team is headed up by Frank Zaitshik, the personable owner/manager who oversees the entire operation.
If you see him on the grounds as you circulate, don’t hesitate to say hello. The bearded carny-master loves to meet fans of all ages.
Bow Flex
The archery range tucked into a corner of the Iroquois Village 
at the New York State Fair gives visitors a chance to learn the ancient skill of shooting arrows.
Friendly staff is on hand to provide tips (pun intended) and offer encouragement to all comers.
Though now it’s a sport, efficient use of a bow and arrow was a survival skill for Six Nations hunters dating back through centuries of the history of what is now New York.
