Description: Description: This 1915 Official Program is for "Ka-Noo-No Karnival" & "New York State Fair" - Syracuse, NY. "On September 12th 1905, the Ka-noo-no Karnival debuted in Syracuse. The eleven highly successful Ka-Noo-No Karnivals, held between 1905 and 1917, are an important part of our history, especially with regard to the New York State Fair. Until 1889, the State Fair was mobile, traveling from city to city across the State. In 1887, the city of Syracuse (who played host in 1841, 1849, and 1858) offered 100 acres to serve as the permanent home. In 1889 the Fair came to Syracuse to stay, or so it seemed. By 1903, it was obvious that the Fair was not doing well. The State Fair Commission considered moving the Fair to another city as many had expressed an interest in hosting it. What happened next is an amazing example of community collaboration and cooperation that made Syracuse a destination, brought national attention to the city, cemented the relationship with the State Fair, and threw one heck of a week-long party. Each year had a theme component, along with the regular floats and parades for the fire department, military & fraternal organizations, automobiles, commercial organizations, neighborhoods, and children. The theme floats, sponsored by the Karnival Krewe , were designed by Toomey & Volland, designers of the Mardis Gras floats. The rented costumes, were lavish and exquisitely detailed. For the first time the city was lit by strand lighting illuminating the extensive parade route throughout the city for the nearly 100,000 people who lined it nightly." Measure 6" W x 9-1/8" H.
