    3. There are three or four county fairs across the US that claim to be the oldest county fair in the country, however, Erie County is not one of them. Erie County's claim to fame is that it is the LARGEST county fair in the U.S boasting a 1 mile long midway. You may find it listed now-a-days as "The Buffalo Raceway and Expo." I think they may have added a reference to the new casino to the name also. It's main entrance is located on U.S. 62 (South Park Avenue) in Hamburg, NY. Were Jack and Ebba(?) married in 1930? Did they have any children at home at that time? Do you have estimated birth years for Jack and Ebba? This information is crucial for locating and identifying persons in the census records. Good Luck, Amy
