Fourth of July pageant draws big crowd at state fairgrounds
The New York State Fairgrounds hosted a two day Fourth of July celebration with Taste of Syracuse vendors feeding about 30 000 on Friday and Saturday. Rain forced rescheduling of the Niagara Mohawk July Fourth Spectacular but the free concert drew roughly 2000 attendees in the Center of Progress Building with Amica Insurance and Niagara Mohawk Foundation sponsorships. The event featured the Syracuse Newspapers Broadcast team and WIXT-TV coverage, a Sousa march and a Tchaikovsky overture finale. Project Children hosted 66 youths from Northern Ireland with local volunteers and host families aiding a six week stay.
