AUBURN - Thursday marked the opening day of the New York State Fair, and bright and early at locations scattered across the Cayuga County area, people were lining up waiting for the Centro Bus shuttle service to the fairgrounds in Syracuse.

Bill Hutson, manager of Centro's Auburn location, said that Centro has been offering this service at least since he began working for the company in 1982.

“It probably goes back even further than that,” Hutson said. “But I know we've been doing this for at least 26 years now.”
