Countdown to the Erie County Fair is On

Catt. County Fair Upcoming Continues This Events Weekend Now-Aug. 6 Cattaraugus County Fair Little Valley

By Elizabeth Riggs

The Erie County Fair is closing in on nearly 200 years in operation, and nothing, not even a few tornadoes, can stop the people of Western New York from their annual dose of agriculture, fair food and events.

Despite nearly $2.5 to $3 million dollars worth of damage to the fairgrounds, debris has been cleared, glass has been swept and fallen trees have been removed.

According to a news release from the Fairgrounds, “more than 138 people, comprised of the grounds’ staff and private contractors, have been working to prepare for opening day.”

And as it rises from the disaster, this year’s fair

See schedule page 5. schedule is jam packed full of the fair traditions, with a steady schedule of special events to keep things interesting.

Fairgoers can expect nothing less than livestock barns packed with cows, horses, pigs and goats, on which the

premise of the entire fair is based. Visit the 4-H Youth Development barns to see additional 4-H projects ranging from sewing to photography, and time your visit to watch the respective judging events and fashion shows.

The Summer Bucket List

Historical Events in WNY

By Jennifer Weber

You don’t need a flux capacitor to go back in time and experience history. This month, right here in Western New York, there are so many options available for you and your family to explore. Also, here’s a personal inside scoop from one of those crazy historical

reenactors (my husband and I do Revolutionary War and French & Indian War)—don’t be afraid to ask questions and approach the reenactors for photos. Despite not having cameras back in the day, we actually enjoy taking selfies with the guests!

This Weekend: The Buffalo Niagara Heritage Village, located at 3755 Tonawanda Creek Road, Amherst is hosting a Civil War School of the Soldier on Saturday, Aug. 5 from 10:30 a.m. – 4:30 p.m. Children ages 8-14 will participate in activities that Civil War soldiers did, from playing games and singing songs, to marching, drilling and other planned scenarios. Lunch, non-firing wooden muskets and battle flags are included with the registration fee of $30. Parents are welcome to attend and observe. The BNHV also is hosting an Intro to Blacksmithing workshop this weekend, but there’s a wait See Back in Time page 3

Allegany State Park’s 9th Annual Beach Party

Spend some fun in the sun at Allegany State Park at the 9th annual Beach Party Aug. 18!

The day kicks off at 3 p.m. at the Quaker Beach area with a Seneca-Salamanca Chamber of Commerce-sponsored showcase featuring local vendors and organizations.

Come check out the many great things that are available in the local community. The chicken barbecue will begin at 4 p.m. (until sold out) hosted

by J-Con Concessions. While there, make sure you hit the beach!

At 4:30 p.m., Keith James gets the music going. Keith is an accomplished pop singer/ songwriter from Buffalo, New York. His soulful vocals and infectious stage presence have brought him success not only on the local stage, but the national one as well. One of Keith’s most notable feats was appearing on season 6 of NBC’s “The Voice”. Since then he’s gone on to do special events for the Buffalo Sabres, Bills, and many others in local and regional venues. Keith will be followed by park Artist in Residence Sean Patrick McGraw at 6 p.m. Sean is a singer and songwriter who gained national recognition in 2004 as a semi-finalist on USA Network’s Nashville Star.

Since then, Sean has continued to perform as well as write songs that have been licensed

by ESPN, recorded by major country artist Montgomery Gentry, as well as others that have been placed on TV programs such as HBO’s True Blood and Sons on Anarchy.

At 7:30 p.m., headliner Kevin McCarthy takes the stage. Kevin is a singer and songwriter and has been living his dream career as a professional musician for over

beautiful fireworks display over the waters of Quaker Lake –definitely a sight not to be missed! The launch site for the fireworks has been relocated to a field just off ASP 3 at the midpoint of the lake between the Quaker toll booth and the intersection of ASP 3 and Cain Hollow. This change is required to be in compliance with Federal regulations restricting the distance fireworks can be launched from the newly established eagle’s nest in the area. The best vantage points are at both ends of the lake, a couple of areas on each side of the lake, as well as the Quaker Beach down near the sand area.

Patrons planning to view the fireworks at the beach should plan to arrive early as the parking lot has limited capacity and will be closed once it is full.

Be sure to check the Allegany State Park Facebook page for a map of the best viewing sites.

Letter from the Editor

Last weekend, I was asked to help judge the 4-H photography entries at the Cattaraugus County Fair. For about six hours, a steady stream of kids of all ages (including several I recognized from Springville) came up to my table, each with one or several photos to enter, in hopes of having theirs selected for the State Fair later this month.

I was so impressed by what I saw—pictures of landscapes, animals, flowers and so much more! Many were mounted on coordinating mats with professional-looking captions and I looked forward to reviewing each one. Judging these photos was no easy task!

Photography is just one area these kids compete in, and 4-H is just one part of the fair. As it continues to bring smiles to the faces of those who attend through Sunday, Aug. 6, I encourage you to stop by the fairgrounds in Little Valley and see what it’s all about. Check out the entertainment in the grandstand, an array of yummy food, many amusement rides that are included with fair admission, tractors, special shows and, of course, the hard work of the many 4-Hers in Catt County. Don’t miss the articles on page 1 and our special fair feature on pages 4 and 5 for all the info.

Daily General Admission is just $10 and includes an allday gate pass and unlimited midway rides. A variety of daily entertainment is included in general admission.

Commerford’s Petting Zoo is returning to the fair this year and their exotic animals should not be missed: visit the camels, ponies and kangaroos all day throughout the week of the fair. The Swifty Swine Racing and Swimming Pigs will also be a part of this year’s fair— according to Zach Johnson, the “Swine Master,” “You haven’t lived until you’ve seen these racing pigs compete for the grand prize, an Oreo cookie!”

New for 2017, the Pratt Family Chainsaw Carvers will be creating different sculptures all week long. The family’s beautiful works of art include a howling wolf, a panda bear, different kinds of owls, and even Star Wars character R2D2! Mutts Gone Nuts is another new addition to 2017’s line-up.

This talented group of dogs has made the incredible leap “from shelters to showbiz” through their comical performances that have delighted fans all over the country including former First Lady Barbara Bush and recording artists Lee Greenwood and Kenny Rogers.

Students from all over Cattaraugus County will be bringing their animals to show at this year’s fair. From dairy cows to pigs to chickens to goats, 4-H members have

been working hard to get their animals ready for the annual livestock shows and market sales. There are many ways to support these members’ hard work. Visit the different animal barns to meet the students and learn about their hard work, and enjoy a tasty bite at the Cattaraugus County 4-H Snack Shack. The Snack Shack is open for lunch and dinner, where you can get hot dogs, burgers, milkshakes, rootbeer floats and more. The Snack Shack is run by 4-H members and all proceeds benefit their organization.

Grandstand entertainment takes place throughout the weekend with JM Motorsports, which produces over 60 motor sport events every year at more than 30 different county and state fairs in the eastern United States. The Monster Mash Truck Rallies take place on Friday, August 4 at 7:30 p.m. and Saturday, Aug. 5 at 1 p.m. Mike Vaters Jr. and his Overkill Evolution monster truck, as well as Jimmy Creten and his Bounty Hunter monster truck, will be highlighting both shows.

Overkill Evolution won the 2014 Young Guns Shootout championship at the World Finals in Las Vegas and then come back the very next year to capture the Monster Jam World Freestyle championship.

In doing so, Vaters and his Overkill Evolution became the first driver and truck to ever

win the Young Guns one year and the World Finals the next.

Bounty Hunter has consistently been one of the best performing trucks at the Las Vegas World Finals and is a former Monster Jam World Finals Freestyle champion. In addition, the widely acclaimed Higher Education and Scarlett Bandit Monster Trucks are scheduled to appear and perform.

The weekend grandstand events continue with the Kids Power Wheels Demolition Derby on Friday night and the Big Rig Truck Pull on Saturday, Aug. 5 at 6:30 p.m.

The fair concludes on Sunday, Aug. 6 with the World’s Largest Demolition Derby at 5 p.m.

Please note that these weekend grandstand events (Friday through Sunday) are not included in general admission and have an additional $7 grandstand charge. Check out new photos and videos of JM Motorsport’s top events on their website: www.jmderby. com.

General Admission to the fair is $10 and includes all midway rides and daily grounds entertainment, with the exception of the evening’s grandstand events.

For grandstand entertainment, fairgoers will enjoy the National Grid Concert Series, featuring two weeks full of headlining acts. Kicking off the main acts on Friday, Aug. 9 is the Happy Together Tour, featuring six headline artists from some of the best bands from the sixties and seventies.

On Saturday, Aug. 12, singer, songwriter and dancer Jason Derulo will take the stage in one in one of the highlights of the fair entertainment series.

Big name comedians Jeff Foxworthy and Larry The Cable Guy will perform on Monday, Aug. 14, when these superstars will each deliver a laughter-packed evening of new material before uniting on stage in an encore you won’t want to miss.

For those looking to enjoy an alcoholic beverage on the grounds, visit the 42nd Street Café or Grapes and Hops on 42nd Street to sample a variety of wines and microbrews.

Gearheads and machinists alike will revel at five whole days of motocross, truck and tractor pulls, the Ultimate Night of Destruction and the World’s Largest Demolition

Derby – part of the NAPA Auto Parts Motor Event Series.

The Motocross Championship Series, a free event, takes place on Wednesday, Aug. 16 at 7:30 p.m., followed by the Lucas Oil Pro Pulling League Truck & Tractor Pull Champions Tour on Thursday, Aug. 17 and Friday, Aug. 18 at 6 p.m. The Ultimate Night of Destruction, featuring a school bus demo spectacular, double figure 8 racing championship and automobile rollover contest will be held Friday, Aug. 19 at 7:30 p.m., followed by the World’s Largest Demolition Derby on Saturday, Aug. 20 at both 1 p.m. and 6 p.m.

New to the fair this year, organizers are debuting the “Erie County Fair Cooks!

Kitchen & Shoppe,” an arts center that will highlight regionally-grown products, and promote meals that are easy to make at home.

According to a recent press release from the Fairgrounds, each day of the fair, the shoppe will showcase live cooking demonstrations conducted by area chefs, cooking schools, Fair concessionaires and local businesses.

Foodies can also rejoice as Taste of the Fair returns, with vendors offering items for just $2. For those looking to skip the highly-caloric fried Twinkies and Oreos, search for the Healthy Options symbol on select menus throughout the fair. As guests graze their way down the midway, they should also make sure to cast a vote for the Best New Food on the Fairgrounds mobile app.

Additionally, fairgoers can take a bite out of the past as they taste the 1885 burger, originally created by the Menches Brothers. Stop at Weidner’s BBQ to try this historic offering.

Other attractions that are sure to garner attention at this year’s festivities include a butterfly exhibit, a petting zoo, and mobile escape rooms – a hot new trend requiring groups to work together to find hidden keys, solve puzzles, and escape from the room under the watch of a ticking clock.

Historical building at the Erie County Fair, you have most likely seen some familiar faces from the Springville area. Tom Hawkins and his wife Jolene have worked there for many years, and local Dale McCool has taken over as the building manager for this year, not to mention the many Concord Historical Society members who volunteer many hours doing displays and watching the door at the building.

This would all not have been made possible if Mrs. Julia Boyer Reinstein, the first Cheektowaga historian and Concord’s own, had not worked to create the Erie County Historical Federation in 1953, which operates the Historical Building at the fair.

Though many feel that Lucy Bensley was the first historian acknowledged by the State, Lillian Geiger was self-proclaimed and later acknowledged by the Town of Concord.

A letter found in the archives addressed to Supervisor Cranston in 1958 alluded to Ms. Bensley’s discontent as Mrs. Geiger claimed the historian title.

As Lucy pointed out, “I have for many years by New York State been named the official historian of the Town of Concord.”

Nonetheless, Lillian Geiger would be named the Concord Historian and served well

into the 1980s. During this time of Concord politics is when Geiger made a friend of Mrs. Reinstein, a prominent historian and educator in her day. Her legacy has been marked by the Reinstein Nature Preserve, the Julia Reinstein Library in Cheektowaga and the Women’s Study Program at Elmira College.

In the 1960s and 1970s, these ladies worked to spread historical education to the residents of Erie County through the Historical Building displays and historical interpreters we see today like Deborah the soap lady (who will not be there this year), Little John and his brooms, Leo the Concord Historical Society’s famed sitting mannequin and many others.

As the displays evolved, they also became juried and are awarded ribbons just like many other competitive entries in the fair.

Over the years, Concord has displayed many scenes based on the decided theme. It always great when Concord gets a blue ribbon when competing against Amherst, Hamburg, East Aurora and Orchard Park; I have participated in several of the displays myself.

So this year as you attend the fair and go into the Historical Building, remember Concord’s leadership and involvement over the years.
