Syracuse Winter Fair comes to the Expo Center at the Fairgrounds this weekend
(WSYR-TV) — During the winter, it can be difficult to find activities to enjoy due to the cold weather, but we have some good news! The Syracuse Winter Fair is back! Steve Becker, Winter Fair promoter, and Matt Masur, owner of Growth Mode Content, joined the show for a preview.
The is the sixth edition of Winter Fair where we bring summer fun into winter inside the Expo Center at the New York State Fairgrounds. There is a variety of food, midway rides and games. There is plenty of entertainment on and by the Amazon Stage, with vendors, non-profits and special features.
There's the Winter Fair Hoops where attendees will shoot free throws to win prizes. Donations are raised to support the Boys and Girls Clubs of Syracuse. Speaking basketball, some of the legends from Syracuse University Athletics including Gene Waldon, Rob Drummond, Lawrence Moten and Roosevelt Bouie will be there. The Le Moyne Men's college basketball team will be in attendance as well.

Save $200 on Amazon's 'best yet' Fire TV and matching soundbar
Getting a TV can actually be a stressor if you're not the type that likes to tinker with things. Since the vast majority of TVs today don't produce great sound, you'll have to go through the hassle of choosing a soundbar. But that's not all! You also have to connect your soundbar to your TV, which isn't always trivial. That's why we like this deal that saves you $200 on a QLED TV and gives you a matching soundbar that you know will work with it and be easy to assemble. Normally the 50-inch Amazon Fire TV Omni and Fire TV Soundbar bundle would cost $600, but right now you can get it for an impressively affordable $400. Tap the button below to see the deal. Then, keep reading below to get our take on this bundle's components. Why you should buy the 50-inch Amazon Fire TV and soundbar bundle The primary ingredient of the bundle is naturally the TV, and it's a pretty great place to start, considering we named it one of the best Amazon Fire TV devices in its own right. When we did our Amazon Fire TV Omni QLED review, we said that it was the 'best Fire TV experience yet.' One reason for this was its hyper-convenient voice assistant feature, while another was its ability to be a smart home hub, quickly connecting to Ring devices and other Amazon-affiliated smart home wares. It has a fantastic screen too, with a solid 4K resolution and HDR 10. This is an approachable TV that anybody can love. And then there's the soundbar. Our Amazon Fire TV Soundbar review said two things about it that anybody interested in this bundle need to consider. Firstly, 'It doesn't get much simpler than the Amazon Fire TV Soundbar.' If you're intimidated or just can't be bothered to get into the weeds of proper wiring, sound balancing, and the other trappings of advanced home theater creations, this should be music to your ears. This is plug-and-play, that's it. Secondly, our reviewer said that the bar is 'surprisingly immersive' due to its deeper-than-expected bass and emphasis on frequencies with the human voice spectrum, making dialogue sound great. When combined together, this makes a killer kit at $600. This deal nets you $200 off, making the bundle just $400. It's a steal for anyone wanting a great experience with almost no hassle.

A wedding photo was found in a book donated on Saturday, May 31, to the Stirling Heights Public Library in Michigan Sarah Ruggirello recognized the people in the photo as her grandparents Frank and Josephine Ruggirello The couple wed on Sept. 26, 1953 in Detroit and were married for 67 yearsA woman was reunited with a precious memory from the past — all thanks to a library volunteer. A wedding photo featuring a couple in their wedding attire posing along two others was found by the volunteer inside of a book donated on Saturday, May 31, at Stirling Heights Public Library in Michigan, according to WXYZ-TV. As soon as the volunteer spotted it, they worked to reunite the old photo with the family who it belonged to. Luckily the photo held a clue as to who was in it, as written on the back of it were the words: 'Frank and Josephine Ruggirello — Nana Nono,' per the outlet. The photo — both back and front — was posted online on Facebook in the hopes that someone who saw the post would be able to identify who it belonged to. 'We posted, 'Lost & Found love story,' ' Anneliese White of the Stirling Heights Public Library, told WXYZ-TV. 'We were hoping someone might recognize one of the people in the pictures or recognize the last name.'

Sarah Ruggirello told the outlet that the post was brought to her attention by a childhood friend who tagged her in the post and wrote, 'Hey, are these some family members of yours?' Sarah said she recognized the wedding couple in the photo as her grandparents Frank and Josephine Ruggirello, who were married on Sept. 26, 1953 in Detroit. She wrote on Facebook: 'This is my grandma and grandpa on their wedding day! Would I be able to pick it up?' She added, 'My grandpa passed in 2020 and my grandma passed in 2023, and I know my family would love to have [the photo].' 'I was very close to my grandparents,' Sarah told WXYZ-TV, adding that her grandparents had been married for 67 years. 'My whole family, my brother and cousins and I have just such fond memories of them growing up." "We'd go over to their house every Sunday for Sunday dinner and my grandma was a great cook and she would make homemade sauce and meatballs and they were just the best grandparents ever," she added. The library set up a time and place to exchange the photo with Sarah, and she excitedly thanked White who handed over the photo. She shared with WXYZ-TV: 'What's so cool is we've never seen — my dad and I — have never seen this exact photo before. We didn't know this exact photo existed.' As for where she plans to put the photo, she shared, 'I think now I'm going to frame it and display it somewhere in my house just because this was such a cool story and such a cool thing that happened." The library noted that it was unclear who donated the book and that it was routine for volunteers to check books before they are sold in the library's used bookstore. As for how they would describe the wedding photo reunion, White said: "This is definitely a solved mystery with a little bit of romance in it for sure. A feel-good story."
