Kathy Richau, announcer/dancer, checked for rain during the second performance by the Hot Country Liners (of Lockport) at the NYS Fair.
The Hot Country Liners Dance Team made plenty of noise, made several wardrobe changes, and drew quite a crowd (even in the rain) during yesterday’s New York State Fair. We were told that Thursday would be their only fair appearance.

We can vividly remember tipping into OnaJava about a decade ago to find Darryl Dawkins, aka Chocolate Thunder, chillin’ at the counter. He was a big man with a big personality to match, and helped pave the way for Lebron and Shaq. Dawkins was the first high school player to be drafted to the NBA (1975).
