Syracuse,
NY – January 2019 / Newsmaker Alert / There’ll be carnival rides
in winter at the first-ever Winter
Fair at the New York State Fairgrounds February 8 - 10. Ten rides,
including a Ferris Wheel, will form the indoor Mini-Midway in the Exposition
Center. Rides will cost $3 each, with an All-Access Pass available for
$15. All sales at the event are cash only. Tarson Pools and Spas is the
sponsor of the Mini-Midway.
“It’s not a fair unless you
can ride the rides, so we’re bringing a taste of the Midway indoors. We
know this will be fun for kids and will really help to give this event

New York State Fair.
