Librarians from all over New York State are inviting fairgoers of all ages to spin the wheel and answer trivia questions about fairy tales. Prizes are various, but I can report that there's a reliable amount of candy available.
Passers-by are also encouraged to scan a QR code with their phones to answer a 2-question survey about what they love about their libraries, and they can even take a selfie in front of a board painted with the aforementioned Caterpillar and upload it to Twitter with the hashtag #NYLibs.
The New York State Fair runs through Monday, September 7, 2015. High-five a librarian while you're there!
*And why would you not make it to the NYS Fair? Quarter Milk**, fried dough, free concerts, sand sculpture, flower arrangements, maple products, model trains, 4-H projects on display, huge pumpkins competing against each other for...mad...huge...pumpkin...prizes!
**It's very easy to define Quarter Milk as milk that you get for a quarter, since that's essentially what it is, but it's also seriously the best milk you will ever have in your life. This is why I capitalize it. I don't even like drinking milk - a serious confession to make in dairy country - and I line up every year for my plastic I Heart NY cup of Quarter Milk. Every. Year.
