Governor Andrew Cuomo will be out at the fairgrounds for Governor's Day. Pop sensation "The Wanted" will be performing Thursday night on the Grandstand, and Chevy Court acts include Karmin and Neon Trees.

As always there are a variety of unique fair food options. A specialty this year is the big kahuna hot dog, a hot dog wrapped in bacon with a glazed donut for the bun.

YNN's Getaway Guy, Mike O'Brian, will be at the Time Warner Cable Pavilion Friday signing free copies of his Getaway Guy Travel Book from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m.
