It's not common to see them flying over this part of central New York, but for the second time in about a month a blimp is flying over Utica.

Seen flying over Marcy and Utica, a DirectTV blimp was out and about on Monday morning (8/31). Late last month, a MetLife blimp promoting the soon to be released Peanuts movie was seen flying over the Mohawk Valley on what was a very busy weekend: The Great American Irish Fest, Cooperstown's Baseball Hall of Fame induction weekend and Rome's Honor America Days were all going on.

Not far down the Thruway in Syracuse, the Great New York State Fair is going on through Labor Day.
