The New York Association of Agricultural Fairs (NYSAAF) represents 55 fairs; comprised of 44 county fairs, 10 youth fairs and of course The Great New York State Fair.  Within the great state of New York, agriculture is the #1 industry and county fairs are the perfect place to showcase agriculture.  County fairs remain one of the last critical linkages between our agricultural heritage and today’s urban based society.  The agricultural exhibits, activities and programs during fair week are the only opportunities for the vast majority of non-farm families to learn about and come to appreciate their connection and relevancy to today’s agricultural world.

New York Fairs provide an escape from everyday life.  Where else can you go to milk a cow, take a spin on thrilling rides, watch big name entertainment, peruse the blue ribbon winning quilts and crafts from the locals, and eat a wide variety of tasty food?  Fairs have proven to be good, clean, family entertainment at a very inexpensive price.  Throughout the difficult economy fairs have remained vibrant and viable, so please, as you travel throughout the state from June through September, please join us and let us show you what you what we have to offer!
