Dancing Diggers Return to the
2004 Great New York State Fair!
EAST SYRACUSE, NY, July 2004
— The wildly successful 36-show run of the JCB Dancing Diggers at the 2003
Great NY State Fair will have an encore.
Starting August 26th through September 6th 2004, fair goers will once again get
to see and feel the excitement of the JCB Dancing Diggers as they perform stunts and
precision maneuvers, choreographed to contemporary music, using 8-ton JCB
Backhoe Loaders and Loadall construction equipment.
The Dancing Diggers will perform 3 shows
daily throughout the fair’s run with performances taking place on The Fair's Infield area adjacent to the Midway.
The show has been changed from the 2003 edition to provide audiences with
more thrills and demonstrate the toughness and performance capability of a
wider range of the JCB construction equipment line.
Show
times are 2:00 pm, 4:00 pm and 6:00 pm.
