Life-like dinosaurs inhabited the Expo Center throughout the recently-concluded New York State Fair, which kept the cavernous building swarming with kids all 13 days. 
But two smaller acts were also great new additions as Lady Houdini and Groovy Guy presented circus-like talents several times each day.
Lady Houdini did daring escapes reminiscent of her iconic namesake, culminating in her breaking free of chains and emerging from a water tank. Groovy did a little juggling while keeping up a constant patter of jokes and wisecracks, before walking on a rope held by audience members, which was not dangerous but was very impressive.
These performers, combined with other grounds entertainment effectively make the case for viewing State Fair admission and parking charges as trivial when you consider the overall bang for the buck.
While returning favorites are essential to loyal Fair fans, a variety of new acts every year brings another dimension and encourages people to attend more than once in order to catch all of the shows. It’s a winning formula for the Fair and its customers.
We can’t wait to see what comes next.
