SYRACUSE, N.Y. (WSYR-TV) — The New York State Fair has booked country star, Lainey Wilson, as their opening day concert.

Wilson has been one of the highest requested acts for the fair, according to NYS Fair social media. Sean Hennesey, the Interim Fair Director, says he hopes the NYS Fair’s social media followers will be extra excited over this announcement.
