Onondaga County Executive Ryan McMahon supports Winter Fair. He notes, “it helps drive the economic activity that pays for local government. Sales tax is our number one revenue for both the county and city government. You need to invest back into events that will help grow that revenue, and have people come out and spend money, have people from outside the area come here. This event will help continue to enhance arts and culture experience, that entertainment experience."
