The State Fair opened this morning. Kids twelve and under go free. So does anyone sixty-five and up, every day. Forty-one acts play across thirteen days and the concerts are included. A cup of milk is a quarter, plain or chocolate.

Wineries from our lakes pouring at the Colonnades. Grape Day is August 27. Cider and beer from our towns in the Horticulture Building.

Two things have a deadline if you're deciding when to go. The drone show, three hundred of them, runs tonight and tomorrow only.

Tomorrow is also Student Youth Day, so anyone eighteen and under gets in free, plus SUNY students with an ID.

If you go, reply back and let me know what you liked best!
