Vendors have felt the impact of the low attendance at the New York State Fair this year

New York – With 36,000 people in attendance on Thursday compared to 103,000 on the same day during the last Fair in 2019, attendance rates remain incredibly low for the New York State Fair.
Peachey’s Baking Company’s home base is in Sarasota Florida. They travel to different fairs all over the country and this marks their second year here in New York.
Another vendor, Dylan Husted, of Liverpool brought his Baked Potato Express food truck for the first time this year and plans to return next year.
The owner, Nathan Peachey, planned for the low attendance rate and still plans to return next year.
Vendors have felt the impact of the low attendance, and while some had to cut down on staff, and remain optimistic about the Fair in the future.
The Fair’s final day will be Labor Day.
