Thunderstorms that swept through Syracuse this weekend flooded portions of the west end of the New York State Fairgrounds, fair officials said.
Fair staff are actively responding to the situation, using vacuum trucks to remove standing water and ensure the site is safe for visitors. The fair is also working with partner agencies to assess the full extent of the flooding and potential impacts.
Despite the flooding, the New York State Fair remains on schedule and events are expected to go on as planned.
The fair management is committed to ensuring that the fair is safe and enjoyable for all visitors while working to clean up the effects of this weekend's storms.
