The New York State Fair is only a few months away and crowds came out Saturday looking to be a part of it. 

The fair is looking to fill temporary positions for this year's event. There are hundreds of different jobs available ranging from parking to customer service to maintenance.

Hiring managers say work hours and rate of pay vary by assignment.

There were candidates of all ages looking to get hired. And we found many are actually retired.

"A great opportunity to get me out of the house, I mean there are things I am doing all the time, go to church with my family, my grandkids and all, but this will give me a chance to meet other people which I love. I am retired, a housewife but I would like to do some work during the summer," says Effie Hawkins.

The State Fair runs from August 22nd through September 3rd.
