I’ve taken some photos at small county fairs in the past, but have often thought I should go to the large (a.k.a. “Great”) New York State fair held in Syracuse each year.

Well, this year I got my chance and drove up on the very last day ($1 admission day; also, Labor Day) to walk through for a couple of hours before coming back home for the local fireworks display I go to each year with my family.

The day was hot and crowded…presumably due to the regular $10 admission being only $1, and also because it was a holiday that many have off of work. Initially I found the heat and crowds off-putting; but I tried to remember that this combination made for better photos and that’s what I was there for…(!)

So here now are some of the photos–in approximately chronological order–I took during my 2+ hour jaunt through the hot & crowded Syracuse fairgrounds…:).

I found myself near Saratoga Springs, New York last weekend and heard it was the opening weekend of race track season. Though I briefly considered buying a ticket and going to the race track itself, I convinced myself it would probably be expensive and that my family would be mad at me for being gone too long.

So, I simply parked and walked downtown for about an hour (Saratoga has free 2-hour parking). The weather was perfect for little photographic stroll..:-).

Here now is a photographic “taste” of downtown Saratoga Springs during their 2015 opening race track weekend…
