As a part of Syracuse Welcome 2007, students will have an opportunity to attend the Great New York State Fair on Saturday, Sept. 1. State Fair tickets are now available to students for $5 with their SU I.D. or SUNY-ESF I.D. at the Schine Box Office. Students are encouraged to purchase tickets as soon as possible, as they tend to go quickly.

Buses will begin returning from the fair to College Place at 10:30 a.m. and will run in 30-minute intervals until 7 p.m. Destination signs on the buses will read “Syracuse University” for buses leaving the main gate of the Fairgrounds returning to College Place.
