The Toyota Coliseum was buzzing with the the sound of trotting, jumping and snorting last night as participants readied for the Horse Show that opens at The New York State Fair.

Special thanks to Ms. Naomi for the quick education on quarter horses and the 10-day competition.

NYS Fair (Day 12): Puttin’ in work

Swoop: Ball Tricks

Swoop: Ball Tricks

James Brown had nothing on Dwayne Swoop Simpson. The triple-zero uniform-wearing entertainer for the Harlem Wizards is officially  the “hardest working man in show business (at the Fair).”

For the past week, we saw Simpson do tricks, teach salsa lessons, play some great classic soul and rock music as a DJ, drum up business for local vendors, take photographs with fans, nearly get a double-double in  wheelchair basketball, and just plain make a vocation look like fun outside the Sports Activity Center.

On this Labor Day, we salute his work ethic.
