The sixth annual \u201cMade in New York Festival\u201d will be held July 2 at Madison Barracks in Sackets Harbor. The festival organizers announce the presenting\u00a0sponsor for this year\u2019s festival event is Lake Ontario Realty. In addition, the New York State Department of\u00a0Agriculture and Markets will once again partner with this year\u2019s festival event through its Taste New York initiative. This year\u2019s one-day festival event will also showcase six bands from across the state, as well as a\u00a0national recording artist, and a new and expanded children\u2019s playground.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe couldn\u2019t be more pleased to have so much support from the many sponsors, the community and everyone\u00a0who volunteer their time to make this event such a success,\u201d said Donna White, program director for Meals on\u00a0Wheels at the Watertown Urban Mission. \u201cWe have all worked hard building this festival event from scratch\u00a0and it just keeps getting bigger and better every year. This festival has done so much for Meals on Wheels and\u00a0we are so grateful to see the community come together to not only support this much needed Watertown Urban Mission program, but also to celebrate New York State businesses.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Made in New York festival event will showcase over one hundred top-notch New York State agricultural,\u00a0farm and home-based businesses. Vendors will drive from as far away as Forestville, south of Buffalo,\u00a0Poughkeepsie, Albany, and Saratoga. Music has always played a large role in this festival and this year is no\u00a0different. The event on Saturday, July 2 from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m. at the historic Lake Front Grounds\u00a0of Madison Barracks will feature four bands from across the state and the national touring artist Tyler Bryant\u00a0and the Shakedown.<\/p>\n

\u201cThis is our sixth annual event and is going to be a great fun filled day to come out and enjoy some local New\u00a0York products and great entertainment,\u201d said Mike Campbell, event organizer. \u201cWe hope you will come bring\u00a0your family and join the thousands of people who come every year to support New York\u2019s homegrown\u00a0businesses, and give back to a much-needed program of the Watertown Urban Mission that delivers food to\u00a0people in need.\u201d<\/p>\n

The children\u2019s playground will be significantly larger this year, with inflatable slides, bounce houses, a 26-foot climbing wall and the Euro-bungee ride. The number of food concessions has expanded as well, providing a\u00a0variety of different menus. Other customer services that will be available are free shuttle service to and from\u00a0Watertown, package check, parking lot shuttle carts, first aid center and professional event staff.<\/p>\n

The free shuttle is compliments of Clarence Henry Coach and will run every hour starting at 10:30 a.m.\u00a0from the Ramada Inn, Fairfield Inn &amp; Suites and Holiday Inn Express in Watertown to the Madison Barracks,\u00a0Sackets Harbor festival grounds and then from the festival back to the hotels! This free and safe service is a great way to get to and from the festival.<\/p>\n

Advance tickets will be available at area wide Kinney Drug stores. Tickets are $10 in advance and $15 at the\u00a0gate. Active duty military, retired military and veterans will have the discounted ticket price of $10 at the gate.\u00a0Children and young adults under the age of 16 are admitted free when accompanied by an adult. Tickets can\u00a0also be purchased online from the festival website, www.madeinnny.com.<\/p>\n

The Meals on Wheels program delivers quality, nutritionally balanced meals to people who are largely shut in\u00a0their homes and at risk of hunger. By providing a warm meal for lunch, a bagged meal for dinner, and a daily\u00a0visit, the program, and its volunteer drivers make a direct impact on the lives of your neighbors in need. The\u00a0local program depends on community donations and volunteer support to ensure low-cost preparation and\u00a0delivery of more than 3,000 nutritious and delicious meals each month. It is one of seven programs at the\u00a0Watertown Urban Mission, which collectively help individuals and families in need with food, drink, clothing,\u00a0household goods, housing, prescription costs, medical transportation costs, overcoming addiction and more. In\u00a02015, the Mission helped neighbors in need from throughout Jefferson County more than 35,000 times.<\/p>\n
