Soon the gates open to the New York State Fair celebrating the State’s agricultural industry. When we walk through we encounter a cacophony of sights, sounds and smells.

We find barns filled with cows, pigs, chickens and horses, prize winning animals raised by young farmers. Our senses are alive!

We tour buildings with products from the home – floral displays, quilts, baked goods, garden vegetables. Pleasing our senses.

A giant carnival calls us. Bright lights, loud music, ringing bells, and aromas of food fill the air.

So much to see, hear and do. I smell BBQ, let’s find it.
