    1. Re: [NYERIE] Erie County Fair
    2. For those who don't know abt the Erie County fair; It goes back abt 150 years and is the the 2nd largest County fair in the USA and draws about 1 Million people over a ten day period. They hold a demo on how to wash a chicken which really comes in handy. Kevin ---- Lois J Lane <[email protected]> wrote: ============= We often get to the Erie County fair as well.

    3.

    3. My daughter made sponge candy one time. I know there was a mixture of stuff that included Baking soda put into a cookie sheet to cool (and rise) that was cut into squares and then dipped into milk chocolate. You can buy it not with other kinds of chocolate. It was on sale last week at TOPS for $2.99 a pound (regularly $4.99/lb). I'm sure there has to be a recipe out there somewhere.

I now live an hour north of Albany, NY. Every couple of years, we get visitors from Western New York and request that they bring a dozen weck rolls, a dozen jars of Weber's mustard, a couple of pounds of cheddar cut from the wheel at Kutter's in Pembroke, and several pounds of thuringer.

    2. When you get to www.fultonhistory.com just click on ENTER on the screen and when the next page opens go to far left of screen and there is box for name and search button. There about 6 million newspaper pages on the site and sometimes an out of town paper like Rochester might have the story your looking for from Buffalo, so do a full search rather then just a couple papers you think it might be in. Also the name will be underlined in blue on the newspaper page you get the hit on and you can enlarge it at the top so you can read it easier. kevin ---- Susan Butler Tobie <[email protected]> wrote: ============= Hi, Linda!

Best to order a side of German potato salad and some pickled beets as well. This of course must be washed down with a tall cool German type adult beverage.

    3. I was wondering when the Erie County Fair was going to be brought up. Just waiting. I've been a member of Windom (Orchard Park) Auxiliary and my husband is a non-active Life Member of same Company. We still get in the Fair free on Fireman's Day and eat and drink in the Windom's dug out in the infield. That loose tie and backwards hat still goes on. Love it..........

    1. Re: [NYERIE] Are there any newspapers...

    3. Hi, Linda! Try this link for some fascinating old newspapers: http:// www.fultonhistory.com/Fulton.html You keep clicking through the postcards until you see the newspapers. and the print is so small you'll want a magnifying glass. The info, though, was wonderfully useful, and I was grateful to have seen this organization's advertisement.
