NY July 2024 / NewsmakerAlert: August may be the hottest month
of the year, but The Great New York State
Fair is encouraging fairgoers to wear their boots the ones with the

One
of the most vibrant and recognizable superstars in the music industry,
Flo Rida has sold well over 100 million singles and has performed on some
of the biggest stages, including The Bowl Championship Series National
Championship Game, The NCAA Mens Basketball Final Four, The Ellen DeGeneres
Show, The Today Show, and Good Morning America.
Every year, some of our
largest crowds are hip-hop shows and this was an announcement that we had
a hard time keeping under our hats, said Fair Director, Julie LaFave.
Flo Ridas music defined a decade and we know fairgoers are going to pack
Suburban Park to sing along to the sounds of summer. The Fair doesnt just
offer some of the best value in entertainment, it offers a chance to make
lifelong memories and experience things that would cost hundreds of dollars
elsewhere. This is the place to be from August 21 to September 2!
For over 10 years, Flo Rida
has been churning out hits, including the five-time platinum single Low,
which spent 10 consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Top 100 chart. The
Miami, Florida native authored a string of record-breaking, multi-platinum-certified
singles like Right Round, which topped the charts worldwide, In the
Ayer, Club Cant Handle Me, Good Feeling, Wild Ones, Whistle,
My House, and I Cry. All told, Flo Ridas music, which has been
featured in numerous movies, video games, and television productions, has
been certified platinum 30 times.
The Fair starts Wednesday,
August 21, and runs through Labor Day, Monday, September 2.
