Think You Can Call Your Husband Loud Enough to Win?<\/p>\n

If you’ve ever had to yell across the house, the backyard, or at the New York State Fair<\/a> to get your husband\u2019s attention, you might have what it takes to compete in one of the Fair\u2019s newest contests.<\/p>\n

The Empire Room is bringing some friendly competition with the first-ever Fair Olympics, featuring some pretty entertaining challenges. One of them? The Husband Calling Contest.<\/p>\n

It’s Not Just About Yelling “Dinner!”<\/p>\n

The Husband Calling Contest is part of a lineup of Fair Olympics competitions designed to bring a little more fun to the Empire Room.<\/p>\n

Other challenges include Milk Jug Holding and Corn Shucking, giving fairgoers plenty of chances to show off their skills\u2014and maybe earn their own version of a blue ribbon.<\/p>\n
