SYRACUSE, NY - June 28-29 - Syracuse. It's the center – and the crossroads – and the heart of New York. Where from four points on a compass, the state's main thoroughfares intersect – a modern day testament to the canal that represented the dawn of interstate transportation and commerce some two hundred years before.  But Syracuse is more than the geographical center. It's the cultural and historical crossroads of New York State as well. Nestled among the rolling green drumlins is a safe, welcoming community of diverse, professional and hardworking people who create a kind of cultural vibrancy found in few other places.
