• Longtime New York State Fair vendors adjust to new parking and security limitations (informnny.com) — New parking and security rules at the Geddes fairgrounds will change how longtime New York State Fair vendors move supplies and vehicles during the 13-day run. Veteran operators like The Shamrock, Villa Pizze Fritte, and Fair Deli Food Truck are reworking storage, walking routes, and even buying refrigerated trucks as the fair adds shuttles to ease the transition.
