The Beef on Weck and the weather have generated a lot of e-mails. Should we start a new thread and talk about all the firemen's picnics that occure every summer, all over WNY and the church lawn fetes? I've lived in other states and never saw these things. Must be a WNY thing. Every Police dept also had a picnic or OX roast/ Clam Bake etc. At a fireman's picnic ; if you were in the beer tent; you could always tell when the firemen had had too much to drink. The would march in the parade in their dress uniform and after too many beers, they always loosened the tie and put their hats on backwards. Firemans day at the Erie County fair with all the firetrucks and each fire coumpany has their own hospitality tent for members and other companies members and families in the infield by the grandstand.

Does anyone know if there are records kept as far back as 1860 in the Buffalo/Springville area? My gggrandfather, Stephen G Hooker married my gggrandmother, Helen Nash Norton of Springville in June of 1849. I only know the date from a newspaper article in Chicago when they celebrated their 50th wedding anniversary. No mention of her parents though. Their first child, Alice G. Hooker, was born in NY and I am assuming the Buffalo area or Springville. They then moved to Chicago, IL in 1852. It said in Alices's obit that she had to take a canal boat to get to Chicago, IL to be married, so she must have been staying with relatives/grandparents? there until time to get married since her parents were in Chicago. Unfortunately, I can't find her wedding records or anything about it because it happened right before the Great Chicago fire of 1871 and the records were lost. But I have been trying to find out who Helen Nash Norton's parents were? Does anyone know anything about Springville or Nortons in that area or perhaps Nash's? I figure that must be a family name. Thanks for any and all or even no info! Linda Hooker Lathrop

Sponge Candy??? Never heard of it. I'll have to ask my hubby if they had it in Chicago. But he is snoring on the couch so I'll have to ask him later. LOL But can you explain what sponge candy is?

My Mom grew up in Bradford, PA but she always talked about going up to Buffalo. I wonder if she ever had Beef on Weck but since she has passed on I can't ask her. Did that food phenomena extend over the border into PA? Dyngus Day?????
