GEDDES, N.Y. — This summer’s New York State Fair is still several months away, but officials say interested companies can take advantage of its corporate-outings program.
The program is available for firms that would like to hold a family-friendly summer picnic, celebrate a milestone, or an event for employee team building, the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets said in its Tuesday announcement. The department operates the New York State Fair.
The corporate-outings program provides guests with a $1,000 credit that can be used for admission, parking, and the flexibility to choose from full-day access or half-day packages between 9 a.m. and 9 p.m.
