DID YOU KNOW THAT NEW YORK STATE HAS A WINTER FAIR?
MORNING’S ON THE HILL REPORTER JEREMY LYNCH JOINS US LIVE TO TELL US MORE. JEREMY?
THE NEW YORK STATE WINTER FAIR OCCURRED THIS WEEKEND ON FRIDAY FEBRUARY 3RD, SATURDAY FEBRUARY 4TH, AND SUNDAY FEBRUARY 5TH AT THE NEW YORK STATE FAIRGROUNDS IN SYRACUSE, NEW YORK. THE NEW YORK STATE WINTER FAIR HAS BEEN TAKING PLACE AT THE FAIRGROUNDS SINCE 2019. UNLIKE THE NEW YORK STATE FAIR, THIS FAIR OCCURS MAINLY IN THE EXPOSITION CENTER. AT THIS FAIR YOU WERE ABLE TO GO TO THIS SPECIFIC STAND AND GET A HENNA TATTOO. THERE WAS ALSO FUDGE AVAILABLE FOR PURCHASE AND ALSO EVEN A WHOLE VENDOR JUST DEDICATED TO SOCKS. SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY STUDENT RYAN MAGUIRE WENT TO THE FAIR FOR THE FIRST TIME THIS YEAR. DESPITE HIM NOT GOING ON ANY RIDES, HE STILL HAD A GREAT EXPERIENCE.
I THINK MORE PEOPLE SHOULD GO OUT BECAUSE IT IS A FUN THING TO DO AND JUST FAIRS IN GENERAL A FAN OF JUST GETTING TO MEET NEW PEOPLE AND YOU GET TO DO THESE CRAZY THINGS WITH THEM. SO YEAH, I JUST WISH I HAD HEARD ABOUT IT EARLIER IF ANYTHING, BUT IT WAS A FUN EXPERIENCE.
THERE WAS ALSO A TON OF LIVE MUSIC AND THERE WAS DEFINITELY CROWDS OF PEOPLE DANCING ALL DAY LONG. WHEN I WENT TO THE FAIR TO CHECK IT OUT ON SUNDAY. THERE WAS ALSO BOOTHS TO SET UP TO GET INSURANCE AND ALSO TO GET A FREE VACATION.
WE ACTUALLY SIGNED UP FOR LIKE A FREE TRIP TO FLORIDA. SO BECAUSE WE WERE LIKE WHY NOT? AND THEN I GOT A PULLED PORK SANDWICH WHICH WAS KIND OF LIKE THE HIGHLIGHT OF THE WHOLE FAIR.

IT’S A SHAME THAT THE NEW YORK STATE WINTER FAIR IS OVER, BUT THE 2023 NEW YORK STATE FAIR KICKS OFF IN 197 DAYS ON WEDNESDAY.AUGUST 23RD. FOR MORNINGS ON THE HILL, I’M JEREMY LYNCH.

OUR REPORTER SHI’ANN JOHNSON GOT A CHANCE ATTEND THE BLACK HISTORY EVENTS, SHI’ANN.
THANK YOU. THE ENERGY WAS HIGH AS SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY CELEBRATED THE KICK-OFF OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH. DURING THE EVENT, PEOPLE CELEBRATED AS THEY LISTENED TO MUSIC, SANG, AND DANCED WHICH WAS HOSTED BY KARLOUS MILLER, COMEDIAN FROM THE WILD IN OUT SHOW. LAST WEEK MORNING ON THE HILL HAD A CHANCE TO COME OUT TO SEE WHAT IT WAS ALL ABOUT.
THE ROOM FILLED WITH BLACK EXCELLENCE AS HUNDREDS OF SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS JOINED THE KICK-OFF CELEBRATION OF BLACK HISTORY MONTH HELD AT THE SCHINE AUDITORIUM. I WENT TO SPEAK WITH MARISSA WILLINGHAM, MANAGER OF THE INTERCULTURAL COLLECTIVE, AS SHE TALKS ABOUT THIS MONTH’S BLACK HISTORY THEME.
THIS YEAR’S THEME IS BLACK RESISTANCE NATIONWIDE. AND SO AS A COMMITTEE, THE BLACK HISTORY MONTH COMMITTEE, WE CAME TOGETHER WAS LIKE, WHY NOT ADD ON A TAG? BECAUSE WITHOUT BLACK RESISTANCE, WE HAVE TO BUILD. WE HAVE TO GO THROUGH BUILDING BRIDGES.
WE ALSO GOT A CHANCE TO HEAR THOUGHTS ABOUT DIVERSITY FROM A COUPLE OF SYRACUSE UNIVERSITY STUDENTS WHO ARE A PART OF THE ONE-WORLD CREATIVE DANCE TEAM ON CAMPUS.
I’M EXCITED AND I’M HAPPY THAT SYRACUSE HAS BEEN INCLUDING A LOT OF THE PEOPLE OF COLOR AND LETTING THEM FEEL WELCOME AND MAKING THIS A HOME FOR US, REALLY. SO IT’S REALLY A GOOD THING.
YES, I’M VERY EXCITED ABOUT ALL THE ARTS, THE BLACK STUDENTS ORGS COMING TOGETHER IN THIS EVENT. I SEE A LOT OF SORORITIES AND FRATERNITIES, DANCE TEAMS. AND I’M JUST GLAD THAT WE ARE ABLE TO CELEBRATE TO KICK START THE BLACK HISTORY MONTH. AND I KNOW SYRACUSE A LOT.
AS WE MOVE INTO A NEW WEEK, WE CELEBRATE ONE OF THE MOST POLICED ASPECTS OF BLACK CULTURE AND BEAUTY, THE BLACK HISTORY MONTH COMMITTEE WILL BE HOSTING A STATE OF THE BLACK HAIR EXPERIENCE TO HIGHLIGHT ARTWORK GLORIFYING BLACK HAIR TRENDS TOMORROW FEBRUARY 8TH AT 12 PM IN THE SCHINE STUDENT CENTER.

WELL MARK, OUR ISABEL FLORES IS LIVE OUTSIDE TO GIVE US MORE ON TODAY’S WEATHER!
GOOD MORNING. AND YES, IT DEFINITELY HAS BEEN A CHILLY, CHILLY MORNING HERE IN SYRACUSE. WE’RE LOOKING AT ABOUT 24 DEGREES, BUT BELIEVE OR NOT, IT’S ACTUALLY GONE UP A FEW DEGREES. RIGHT NOW, IT’S PRETTY SUNNY OUT HERE, AS YOU CAN SEE. SO MAKE SURE IF YOU’RE OUTSIDE TO ENJOY THOSE GLEAMING RAYS OF SUNSHINE. BUT IF YOU’RE LIKE ME AND YOU’RE REALLY SENSITIVE TO THE COLD, MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A PAIR OF THESE. MY EARS GET SO SENSITIVE. ALSO, MAKE SURE YOU ALSO GET SOME GLOVES BECAUSE THESE ARE GOING TO BE YOUR LIFE SAVERS. AND IF YOU’RE LUCKY, LIKE ME, YOUR MOM CAN DEFINITELY MAKE YOU A FEW BEANIES FOR FREE. SO STAY TUNED. I’M GOING TO BE IN STUDIO UPDATING YOU A LITTLE BIT MORE ON THE BREAKDOWN OF TEMPERATURES NOT ONLY HERE IN SYRACUSE BUT IN THE REGION. I’LL THROW IT BACK TO THE STUDIO TO MARK AND WANSHI.
COMING UP ON MORNINGS ON THE HILL — GOVERNOR HOCHUL HAS RELEASED HER PLANS FOR THIS YEARS NEW YORK STATE BUDGET.

THIS MORNING WAS VERY COLD WAKING UP AT 6AM. I DIDN’T EVEN KNOW HOW I GOT HERE, BUT LUCKILY I HAD ENOUGH PROTECTION. WHAT ABOUT YOU?
YES, IT IS. IT IS BETTER THAN LAST WEEK FORTUNATELY.
IT’S DEFINITELY BETTER THAN THIS WEEKEND. WHERE IT WAS GOT INTO THE NEGATIVES. YEAH. NOW IT’S TIME TO CHECK YOUR WEATHER FOR TODAY.
TIME TO CHECK YOUR WEATHER FOR TODAY.
OUR ISABEL FLORES IS IN STUDIO WITH A LOOK AT YOUR FULL WEATHER FORECAST.
GOOD MORNING, EVERYONE. YES. SO AS YOU CAN SEE HERE, HERE’S THE REGIONAL MAP. SO RIGHT NOW IN SYRACUSE, WE’RE LOOKING AT 24 DEGREES. IT ACTUALLY WENT UP FROM 21 EARLIER THIS MORNING. AS WE GO UP WATERTOWN AT 16 AND ROCHESTER OVER HERE IS AT 28, WHICH IS PRETTY INTERESTING BECAUSE YOU KNOW THAT LAKE OVER THERE, YOU’D THINK IT’D BE A LITTLE BIT COLDER. BUT LET’S GO TO OUR ACTUAL FORECAST, THE BREAKDOWN FOR TODAY. SO WE’RE LOOKING ACTUALLY AGAIN AT 24 INSTEAD OF 21, HUMIDITY’S ACTUALLY GONE DOWN FROM 83%. NOW 77% IS THE DEW POINTS AT 18 DEGREES. AND THE WINDS ACTUALLY NOW AT NINE MILES AN HOUR, WHICH IS ACTUALLY AT SIX. SO IT’S GONE UP JUST A LITTLE BIT. THE VISIBILITY IS AT TEN MILES AN HOUR AND THE BOMBER IS HITTING ABOUT 30.19 INCHES. NOW, THIS IS THE DAY PLANNER FORECAST FOR TOMORROW. SO IN THE MORNING, IT’S SUPPOSED TO BE AROUND 27 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. PRETTY SUNNY, THOUGH, 50% CHANCE OF SHOWERS. BUT THEN THAT’S GOING TO BE GOING DOWN AS WE GO ACROSS THE DAY. SO ONCE IN THE AFTERNOON, IT’S GOING TO BE GOING UP TO 36 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT WITH 0% CHANCE OF RAIN, WHICH IS ALWAYS NICE. AND THE EVENING IT’S GOING TO BE AT 30 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. SO A LITTLE BIT COOLER, A LITTLE BIT COOLER AS WE HEAD TO THE EVENING AND NIGHT, WHICH IS GOING TO BE AT 28 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. AND AS WE LOOK AT OUR FIVE DAY FORECAST IS CERTAINLY GOING TO BE GETTING A LITTLE BIT COLDER AS WE HEAD TO SATURDAY. BUT TOMORROW WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING SUNNY, SUNNY SKIES AND WE’RE GOING TO BE AT 43 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. BUT ON WEDNESDAY, WE’RE GOING TO BE GETTING A LITTLE BIT TO THE CLOUDIER SIDE WITH 38 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT WITH THE LOW OF 26. AND ON THURSDAY, WE’RE GOING TO BE SEEING SOME PRECIPITATION. WE MIGHT EVEN SEE SOME FREEZING. SO BE CAREFUL ON THE ROADS IF YOU ARE DRIVING AND IT’S GOING TO BE 44 HIGH OF 44 DEGREES AND A LOW OF 40 ON FRIDAY. IT’S GOING TO BECOME CLOUDIER AGAIN. BUT WE’RE GOING TO BE HAVING THE TEMPERATURES AT 47 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT, A 30% CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION. SO NOT AS HIGH AS WE HAD ON THURSDAY. SO HOPEFULLY WE’LL GET A NON RAINY FRIDAY AND THEN WE’LL HAVE A LOW OF 28 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. AND THEN ON SATURDAY WE’LL HAVE A 40% CHANCE OF PRECIPITATION, BUT A 32 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT TEMPERATURE AND WE’LL HAVE A LOW OF 19 DEGREES FAHRENHEIT. SO MAKE SURE YOU STAY WARM AND BRING YOUR COATS, EARMUFFS, BEANIES, ANYTHING JUST TO STAY WARM AND PROTECT YOURSELF FROM THAT WEATHER. BUT I’M GOING TO SEND IT BACK OVER TO THE STUDIO.

BUT SHE WAS HARDLY THE ONLY ONE GENERATING MEMORABLE MOMENTS AT THE 65TH ANNUAL GRAMMY AWARDS.
LET’S TURN TO THE COMING OSCAR WHICH IS JUST ONE MONTH FROM US.
AHEAD OF ABC’S 95TH ACADEMY AWARDS TELECAST ON SUNDAY, THE NOMINATIONS FOR THE 2023 ACADEMY AWARDS WERE ANNOUNCED , MICHELLE YEOH, ANGELA BASSETT AND ELVIS WERE AMONG THE STARS AND FILMS SETTING NEW RECORDS OR CARVING OUT UNIQUE PLACES IN OSCAR HISTORY.

HOWEVER, THIS YEAR’S NOMINATION HAUL, WHICH SAW “EVERYTHING EVERYWHERE CAST MEMBERS MICHELLE YEOH, KE HUY QUAN AND STEPHANIE HSU ALL MAKING THE CUT ALONGSIDE “THE WHALE” SUPPORTING ACTRESS HONG CHAU, SET A RECORD FOR THE MOST ACTORS OF ASIAN DESCENT EVER NOMINATED IN A SINGLE YEAR.
THOUGH TWO OF THE LAST THREE BEST-PICTURE WINNERS WERE DIRECTED BY ASIAN FILMMAKERS, THE ACADEMY HAS FALLEN SHORT WHEN IT COMES TO NOMINATING PERFORMERS OF ASIAN DESCENT: FILMS LIKE “PARASITE” AND “CROUCHING TIGER, HIDDEN DRAGON” FAILED TO EARN EVEN A SINGLE NOMINATION FOR THEIR ACCLAIMED ACTORS.
