We often get to the Erie County fair as well. We usually go on Ag day or Firemens day as my husband is a fireman/farmer. We also go to the Track area where all the fire companies have their dugouts. The group we sit with the most is the one from Machias/Farmersville/Franklinville/Delevan area. They get a tent for the whole group because we are not a part of Erie County. Cattaraugus county doesn't have anything like what Erie County has for a Fair and fireman's day.
