August 23, 2002 by Scott Jameson

It's that time of year again. For those attending this year's New York State Fair, as usual, it will be hard to avoid running into something related to one or more Syracuse radio stations. Here's what we know so far...

  • Oldies 92.1 sets up shop once again on the Heroes and Legends Cafe outdoor patio at the Center of Progress building. Look for live regional oldies bands each day. Station jocks will also introduce a number of the 4:00 shows at Cole Muffler Court. Morning man Gary Dunes and the Deltunes perform several shows at the Pizza Hut Tent.
