Day 9 at the NYS Fair: Today’s handpicked menu and schedule
Geddes, N.Y. — We’re going to milk this one for all it’s worth. After all, it’s the 47th annual Dairy Day at the New York State Fair.

The same machine has been spitting out taffy at the NYS Fair for 105 years (video)
Geddes, N.Y. — The same well-oiled taffy machine has been providing the soundtrack to the New York State Fair for 105 years. And it’s still going. We’ve all walked by the clicking and clacking dozens of times over the years, just as our parents did and perhaps their parents. If we were lucky, we would stop and load up on Normant’s Salt Water Taffy to keep our day at the Fair fresh in our mind for a day or two.

Balanced flavors and affordable value bring diners to Diwan Restaurant in Manlius (Dining Out Review)
Manlius, N.Y. — One bite into a falafel patty at Diwan Restaurant in Manlius reminded me of what we’ve been missing for the past couple of years. Many Middle Eastern restaurants use the recipe from their homeland — Lebanese falafel differs from, say, the Persian version — where herbs or ingredients like tahini or fava beans bring specific flavors to the end product. It’s not unlike Italian restaurants that each have different ways of making meatballs or red sauce based on their region of origin.

Manlius swans aren’t pets, they’re prisoners (Your Letters)
Regarding the letter “Manlius swan controversy is bureaucratic overreach, pure and simple” (Aug. 27, 2024):. The mute swans the reside in the pond are, in fact, an invasive species. We have trumpeter swans that are native to New York (and North America. for that matter), so why does Manlius keep begging for an exception for a bird that is native to Europe, Asia and Africa?
Tell Me Something Good: State Park at the State Fair
SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — It’s a bit like Brigadoon, appearing out of nowhere each year at Fair time. But a lot of fairgoers don’t even realize there’s a State Park at the State Fair. Julie Smith oversees the Park at the Fair, in front of the Horticulture Building, with its reflecting pool, mini-golf course, and […]
