Saturday, August 25, 2012 is expected to be a busy day in Saratoga, New York.  While thousands of people will be headed to the Saratoga Race Course for the Travers' Race, GNA listeners will be making their way to the Saratoga County Fairgrounds for the Summer Picnic with Chris Cagle and Jason Michael Carroll.
