NYS Fair to Open at Full Capacity-Proof of Vaccination Required?
We had to go without the New York State Fair in 2020 but we were encouraged earlier this year with news of a 're-imagined" version of the fair for 2021. Today Governor Cuomo delivered an update as he announced that the New York State Fair will reopen at 100% capacity this August in Syracuse.
