That was the start to a great bunch of gigs over the years at the State Fair and we\u2019re so excited about this year being our 20th\u00a0year performing there that we have a very special surprise planned. The neat thing about this gig, is that it\u2019s such a family-friendly event, as we always see people in the audience ranging from small kids to people well over 80 or even 90 years old! We<\/p>\n<p>take pride in being a band that brings generations together! As we\u2019ve done each year at the State Fair since my Dad passed away, we\u2019ll be honoring his legacy by playing some of the songs that he wrote!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For more info on FPB, visit <a href=\"http:\/\/www.fritzspolkaband.com\/\" target=\"_blank\">www.fritzspolkaband.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>(Verona, Syracuse, NY \u2013 Aug. 2015) Fritz&#8217;s Polka Band from\u00a0Verona returns to the New York State Fair Monday Aug. 31 and will be doing three (3) different shows, scheduled for\u00a011:30 a.m. and 1 and 3 p.m. on the Regional Artists Variety Stage. \u201cThis year will mark 20 years that we\u2019ve been performing at the New [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":37853,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_jetpack_newsletter_access":"","_jetpack_dont_email_post_to_subs":false,"_jetpack_newsletter_tier_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paywalled_content":false,"_jetpack_feature_clip_id":0,"_jetpack_memberships_contains_paid_content":false,"footnotes":"","jetpack_publicize_message":"","jetpack_publicize_feature_enabled":true,"jetpack_social_post_already_shared":true,"jetpack_social_options":{"image_generator_settings":{"template":"highway","default_image_id":0,"font":"","enabled":false},"version":2},"jetpack_post_was_ever_published":false},"categories":[16,22341],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-63426","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-arts-and-entertainment","category-regional"],"jetpack_publicize_connections":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/madisoncountycourier.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/11\/TomFritzMikeGabeFrankFPB-after-show-4-at-WSKG.jpg?fit=226%2C167&ssl=1","jetpack_sharing_enabled":true,"jetpack-related-posts":[],"jetpack_shortlink":"https:\/\/wp.me\/p43meu-gv0","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63426","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=63426"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/63426\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/media\/37853"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=63426"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=63426"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/madisoncountycourier.com\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=63426"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
