The
Syracuse Chapter, Sons
of the American Revolution will have a exhibition booth at the New York
State
Fair in the Woman's Building. The fair
runs from August 23-Sept 4. The
booth
is shared with the Daughters of the American Revolution.
We are in need of some individuals who can
spend 4 hours at various times to "man" the booth.
If you are interested you can contact our
secretary, Bob Pickett, whose email address is jbpick@twcny.rr.com. or

interesting people
stop at the exhibit and it is surprising how many say they have
Revolutionary
