Night Ranger’s legendary

culture and expanded their ever-growing base of fans since the band’s inception
more than thirty years ago. Night Ranger’s songs can be heard in the “Rock

The band calls its new album,
“High Road,” a taste of classic, high-energy Night Ranger rock n’ roll
and will be released by Frontiers Records on June 10. It’s the eleventh
studio album for the group, which features original members Jack Blades,
Brad Gillis, and Kelly Keagy, along with Joel Hoekstra and Eric Levy.
“Here’s another great night
of entertainment from a band every rock fan knows, yet which is still making

The New
York State Fair, operated by the New
York State Department of Agriculture and Markets, runs from August
21 – September 1, 2014. The Fair’s mission, reflected in its 2014 theme,
“Summer’s Best in Show,” is to showcase the best of New York agriculture
while providing top-quality entertainment. This year’s tagline – “New Attractions,
Old Favorites, Timeless Fun” – highlights the more than two dozen new events
and attractions and the expansion or enhancement of several Fairgoer favorites.
In addition to the annual
New York State Fair, the Fairgrounds host dozens of agricultural events
throughout the year, including some of the Northeast’s most prestigious
horse and livestock shows.
The home of the Great New
York State Fair is a 375-acre exhibit and entertainment complex that operates
all year. A year-round schedule of events is available on the Fair’s
website.
