The New York State Fair kicked off today in Geddes, drawing massive crowds — and mixed reactions from nearby businesses, according to CNY Central.
Restaurants like Ranchers Choice BBQ welcome the boost, especially from out-of-town fair workers who return year after year.
But others, like John’s Auto Care in Solvay, say the traffic surge and parking issues strain operations. Some post signs just to keep fairgoers off their lots.
Still, most agree: the fair brings major money to Central New York during its two-week run.
