As a part of Syracuse Welcome 2009, students will have an opportunity to attend The
Great New York State Fair on Sept. 5. Tickets go on sale Aug. 27, and are available to
students for $5 with their SU I.D. or SUNY College of Environmental Science and
Forestry I.D. at the Schine Box Office. Students are encouraged to purchase tickets as
soon as possible, as they tend to go quickly.
Transportation to and from the fair is available to SU and SUNY-ESF students at no
charge. Pick-up and drop-off points are at College Place and the Main Gate at the New
York State Fairgrounds. Students must carry their SU or SUNY-ESF student I.D. to ride
the bus.
Buses will begin departing from College Place bound for the fair at 10 a.m. and will run
in 30-minute intervals until 5:30 p.m. Destination signs on the buses will read "State
Fair" for buses leaving College Place heading to the fair.
Buses will begin returning from the fair to College Place at 10:30 a.m. and will run in
30-minute intervals until 7 p.m. Destination signs on the buses will read "Syracuse
University" for buses leaving the main gate of the Fairgrounds returning to College
Place.
