We called a former colleague (and SU grad) Maureen Cooper this morning. She and her family have been living in the Houston area for 8 years and evacuated their home on Monday. We're happy to share that her family is safe, and we are thankful Mo had time to share some of what they've been through with us. If you can make any donation to the Red Cross or Salvation Army- the need for relief from Harvey is great.

Joe D called Marty out yesterday... this week Marty WILL be riding the mechanical bull at the NYS Fair and we will go live on Facebook when he does! HAHAHAHA! We got serious and talked hurricaine Harvey today. We'll chat with a former colleague of ours who just evacuated her home in Texas tomorrow morning...

We continue to be humbled by the devastation in Texas. You can text a $10 donation to the Red Cross... text "Harvey" to 90999. We discussed yesterday's record breaking attendance at the fair... marty's bubble vindication... and what to expect today at the NYS FAIR!

Things we can't live without... State Fair finds... spaghetti and more! What the heck did we do this morning on the Morning Mess? Listen now...

Day #2 at the State Fair... we're hungry for Apple Dumplings and Maple Sugar! We had Hollywood in for Bike talk this morning, heard about 2 thieving grannies, and we are impatiently awaiting Baby Mason (although, not as impatiently as Marty's wife!)

Hmmm... something big happens today I just can't remembe....OH YEAH! The NYS FAIR!!! Today is day #1... will we see you? We will be out as a complete staff from 6-8pm on the 95X deck... see you there! BTW- Marty is having egg problems, Shannon sees the lord in donuts, and Joe D still hates both of them... ahhahahahahaha

THE DAY BEFORE THE FAIR! Tomorrow is the new start of the NYS Fair! Today we head over for a sneak peek during the media day tour... we'll update throughout the morning on our facebook page! And we'll fill you in tomorrow before the gates open

So there's an eclipse today... it's all everyone is talking about... we discussed but are pretty sure we'll just watch it tonight on youtube LOL. Disturbing news from England about carrots... 2 days until the NYS FAIR... and more on this MEss of a Monday!

We survived the Mess Mash with some fun stories! Dave Bullard from the NYS Fair came in with a preview of what we can expect in.... 5 days!

The Morning Mess MASH is tonight at All Star Alley inside Destiny USA! OPEN TO ALL! Come out between 6-9. We thank Jason Smorol for bringing his energy in this morning, Eric Devendorf for coming in with Jon from the Salvation army to talk about Kicks4Kids, and Hollywood for putting an image of chaps in our minds...
