Flying high over the NYS Fair 

Opening day of the New York State Fair August 23, 2023, was just short of an attendance record set in 2019. 71,701 people attended; the record stands at 74,027. A flyover of the state fairgrounds shows visitors enjoying a perfectly sunny start to the annual event in Syracuse, N.Y. Video by N. Scott Trimble | strimble@syracuse.com.
