What a great place to spend the day! I missed it last year, the one day I took vacation to attend the traffic was backed up from Seneca Falls to the gate. I turned around.
If current plans prevail, I will be there working as a volunteer in the DigSafely booth. Tentatively scheduled to help on Wednesday and Thursday. Stay in touch.

Check Fair Haven State Park, it is on the lake and a bit further from the action so you may find a spot. Probably one of the nicest parks around.

If you have the time, do some of the wineries on the way from the park to the fair. The drive is beautiful and I will guess about an hour, perhaps less.
You may want to check out the Sterling Renaissance Festival as well. That is in close proximity to the park and a fantastic place to visit. Dress in period clothing and you are really in for some jesting:>

Great link Harvey. You can look at that old Case plowing on the first page and think "how cumbersome", but by placing yourself in that era, it must have been to them like the first space flight was to us.
I still plan on being at the Digsafely booth on Wednesday and Thursday, ask for Don.

I would say either get there early or late but not ten or so in the morning, that is when I had my problem. The traffic has not been a problem for me in the past, just hit it wrong last year.

I found the backup was generated from traffic in the Seneca Falls area. If you travel down Rt 414 heading from the north there is a sign that directs you south across 414 and about a hundred feet from that intersection has you heading east on a back road (can't remember the name) and it ends relatively close to the entrance. I usually go in that way without a problem. Last year was the exception, I was frustrated by the traffic in Seneca Falls, turned around.
As I said, you have to come in from the north, watch for the Empire Farm Days signs and it will have you not making a left turn (east) to follow Rt 414 but rather cross it and make a left about a hundred feet to the south...go that way! Have a safe trip, hope to see you there.

Sorry, don't recall seeing that one but if you don't receive any feedback in a couple of days let me know. The wife used to work over there and may have some information on it.

Beagle,
You know, I am fairly close to the fair and right off the main road that leads south. There are several beautiful B&B's within a mile or two of my home that are either on Lake Ontario or Sodus Bay. You can do the whole wine experience on either the trip to the expo or in the return. Head east and you are within 40 minutes of the Sterling Renaissance Faire. I found the listing for Inland Motel, no description or rating provided.
I recommend stopping at Glenora Vineyards, sampling the wine and eating dinner in their restaruant...excellent.
Maxwell Creek Inn and Carriage House, to name a couple. I will attach a link for you.

Just spent the evening bobbing around in lake Ontario on the back of the Silverton with first mate. Sipped wine and ate some shrimp, watched the sun set.
Murf, glad to hear your illness is medication problems. Hopefully you are enjoying the summer in that boat, mine is a whole bunch slower than yours, but it keeps me sane. See you next year at the expo.

Just arrived home. I spoke with Art for quite some time, did not realize he was an old Mopar man like me. Sorry I missed Beagle and Harvey. One thing is for sure, it was HOT! Of course, that improves the view immensely for a guy.
Hopefully some of us will meet Thursday.

Hmmm.... Art, I did not get my bottle of wine...just kidding. What kind did you have Beagle? Your wife is a trooper, mine won't grace the place after having to work there for years under the Agway tent. As for me, it is better than Disney World. Acres of toys for over-aged boys.

Returned from my second day at the show. Some of the help from my sister utility was in and out quicker than a cat can lick his a_ _, so I ended up with little time to socialize. I wanted to see Art one more time, I really love those Kubota utility vehicles, they look like a Unimog. Thought he might be able to keep an eye out for a used one.
My favorite new invention is the RODENATOR. The guy that invented and patented the thing was there showing videos and had a unit on display. It injects a propane gas mixture into woodchuck holes and blows them up....YEAAA.

I know Beagle, that is the first thing I thought of as well. Our booth was right across from that one, I ran over and mentioned Caddy Shack and all agreed. Just could not think of Carl's name!!
If you win, let me know the cash price!!

My manager was gnawing wood at the two days I spent there, he would have had the big one if I volunteered three!

Art,
If I recall, you received a similar call the afternoon we met. I can't even hide on my boat, the darn thing is always there. But then...the battery dies, darn the rotten luck!
Isn't that Pro-shop something? I stopped there after a safety presentation I attended in Auburn. Talk about a fun place to work in retirement.
