Annual Fall Clambake
Wednesday, September 15, 2021
Chevy Court, NYS Fairgrounds
For almost a century, every September our member firms enjoyed a social and networking function unique to upstate New York. The annual clambake was a long-standing tradition attended by thousands of people associated with the regional construction industry. Tremendous support of the event by Syracuse Builders Exchange (“SBE”) member firms only reinforces the importance of maintaining our annual end of summer tradition.
As most of you are aware, Hinerwadel’s hosted our annual clambake since inception, and while the announcement in October of 2018 that Hinerwadel’s was closing was alarming, SBE attempted to host our 2019 clambake at another venue. In September 2019 we hosted our first clambake post-Hinerwadel’s. We tried, but in the end our caterer failed to deliver the traditional clambake our members enjoyed for almost a century at Hinerwadel’s.
Chevy Court, at the New York State Fairgrounds, will continue to be the new home of the annual SBE summer ending event. The venue itself was great; however, SBE is no longer able to provide a clambake. The SBE Events Committee decided to rebrand the event and call it “The Bake” (presented by OneGroup) and provide our guests with a traditional summer ending barbeque catered by Bull and Bear (presented by M&T Insurance). In addition, we have added a shuttle service from the parking lot for those who prefer not to walk to the main gate.
In our effort to enhance the event, this year’s “Bake” will include an on-stage performance from local renowned band “Hard Promises” (presented by United Rentals) and a wide variety of lawn games. In addition, SBE is no longer limited to the number of guests who may attend.
The importance of SBE’s annual September event has been expressed by many of our members over the past 18 months. While COVID-19 canceled our 2020 event, we are excited to embark on a new menu with a proven caterer, and return to our members your annual summer-ending event.
As proven in 2019, Chevy Court remains the premier venue for the future success of the event. There is plenty of parking, ample space to accommodate an unlimited number of guests, shelter in the event of bad weather, entertainment options and a catering company with a proven track record of serving a traditional barbeque to at least 3,000 guests.

Meet The Generals
March 2021 The evolution of technology has been widely accepted by construction employers, evident by the estimating software programs, electronic plan rooms, email, project management software and general electronic dissemination of project bidding information. Such technology has led to a more efficient and productive workforce, capable of multi-tasking and organizing a variety of activities, projects and other events via a computer, smart phone or tablet while at home, at the office or at the job site. Unfortunately, with the advancement of technology, and COVID-19, comes the reduction of human interaction. Over the past number of years the Syracuse Builders Exchange created a unique networking event which brought our members back to a time where the personal interaction between project managers, general contractors and/or construction managers and subcontractors, suppliers and manufacturers’ representatives all interacted on a personal level, communicating one-on-one, face to face and with a hand shake. The annual “Meet the Generals” networking event has been a huge success; however, this year’s event will be held for the first time virtually. Using some of the same technology that has replaced physical human interaction, this year’s event will look and feel vastly different, but will allow all of our members to achieve the same event objective. Check back for more details. |
