CNY SPAAMFAA was once again represented at the New York State Fair on Fire and Rescue Day which also doubled as Veterans Day. 

A small but hardy crew participated in the 6 pm parade at the fair and represented our group. It was a perfect evening for a parade with comfortable temperatures and bright sunshine ( too sunny for the camera in some of the pictures). Our group was represented by Denny Randall and Gary Colella with "Bertha" our 1923 Ahrens Fox, Don Herb and his Model T, and Barry Lasky, and Mike and Kathleen Randall with Gary Thurstons 1954 Mack LS 85 Ex Patterson NJ E-2.  Special guests on the Patterson Mack were Alisa (Lasky) Hoff and Judy Kimball (Alisa Hoff is Barry Lasky (Jr's) sister and Judy is his girlfriend).  Alisa took most of the pictures on this page and engaged the large crowds as we went by waving and taking their pictures (I am posting very few pictures of many she took of the crowd)
