A country icon has been added to the growing list of free entertainment at the New York State Fair.

One of the best state fairs in the country is only a month away. Escape artists, jugglers, robots, racing pigs, and splashing sea lions are all part of the fun at every turn.

The DINOSAUR EXPEDITION, an interactive, educational experience returns this summer for all 13 days.

More than 60 life-size and life-like, prehistoric dinosaurs will roar into the Exposition Center on opening day,  August 21.
