ANSWER: Chemistry
Liquid
As energy in the form of heat is added to a solid, its molecules begin to vibrate more rapidly until they break out of their fixed positions and the solid becomes a liquid.
The change from solid to liquid is called melting and occurs at a definite temperature, the melting point. The molecules of a liquid are free to move throughout the liquid but are held from escaping from the liquid by intermolecular forces. This gives a liquid a definite volume but no definite shape.
Matt: WRONG

ANSWER: NYS Fair
1890
From 1842 to 1889 the fair traveled among 11 different cities—Albany, Auburn, Buffalo, Elmira, New York City, Poughkeepsie, Rochester, Saratoga Springs, Syracuse, Utica, and Watertown.
In February 1889 Syracuse Land Co donated to the Agricultural Society a 100-acre (40 ha) tract of land in Geddes (Onondaga Co) crossed by railways that facilitated exhibit transport. This parcel has served as the fair's permanent home since September 1890.
