On behalf of the Union Agricultural Society, aka Wayne County Fair Board of Directors, Advisory Board and our many dedicated volunteers, I would like to welcome you to the 2023 Wayne County Fair. We hope you plan to attend the fair being held from August 14-19 in Palmyra. Our theme this year is “Celebrating Wayne County’s Bicentennial at the Wayne County Fair” and we strive to include activities for everyone. We have over 100 scheduled events and promise a safe, clean environment.
There will be so much to see including 4-H exhibits, animals, harness racing, horticulture, home arts, fruits, and vegetables. New this year will be “The Urias DareDevil, Aerial and Acrobatic Thrill Show” with daily performances starting on Tuesday. Our evening grandstand events include the popular JM Productions demolition derby on Monday, Thursday, and Saturday, a Central NY Garden Tractor Pull on Tuesday and Championship Figure 8 competition on Wednesday.
A huge Wayne County Parade is taking place on Friday night and Saturday will be Family Fun Day sponsored by the Wayne County Bicentennial Committee.
There is great nightly entertainment scheduled on the Back Porch of Floral Hall and in the Beer Garden.
Come, join us for a day at the Fair. Meet with old friends and make new memories. See you at the Fair!
Sincerely,
Pam FerrantiAdmar

The Dean’s List
The Finger Lakes’ favorite party band playing your classic/modern rock favorites!
THURSDAY, AUGUST 17 • 8PM
ZBTB is the premier tribute to the chart-topping Zac Brown Band. With 13 number-one singles and 3 GRAMMY wins, the Zac Brown Band is one of the hottest names in the music business and ZBTB is the first and most authentic tribute to their recorded music and live show. Not only does ZBTB capture the sound and creativity of the Zac Brown Band, but they bring a similar atmosphere of family to their shows while engaging the audience in a way that is all their own.
From the Zac Brown Band’s 2008 breakout hit “Chicken Fried” to the recent sing-along anthem “Same Boat,” ZBTB plays all the hits any country fan knows and loves. In concert, the Zac Brown Band is well known for their renditions of a diverse set of covers, and ZBTB follows suit. With classics like “Enter Sandman” and “Ants Marching,” as well as, modern hits like “There’s Nothing Holding Me Back” and “Little Lion Man” in the set, there’s something for everyone at a ZBTB show.
The members of ZBTB come from a wide range of backgrounds. Some have advanced degrees in music, and some have toured internationally - one even played for the circus. They all share some things in common, though: the brotherhood that only being in a band can bring, and the passion and experience to thrill the audience wherever they go.
From cramped pubs to concert halls, overseas military bases to backyard BBQs, and sand-filled parking lots to ocean-side stages, there are die-hard members of the “ZBTB Social Club” everywhere they’ve played. ZBTB is perpetually performing, and always looking for new places to put their “toes in the water, ass in the sand” and play music together for some new friends.
FRIDAY, AUGUST 18 • 8:30PM
