AMISH TRAIL OFFERS VARIETY OF OPTIONS TO EXPERIENCE

By Sara Holthouse, sholthouse@post-journal.com

L

to see the spring colors and to find unique handiworks while learning about the Old Order Amish culture.

ittle Valley’s Amish Trail offers a variety of options for visitors to experience each season.

Part of this culture includes not taking pictures.

The trail is able to be experienced year round, but the busiest times are the spring, summer and fall seasons. Each season will also determine the goods and services that will be offered at the shops.

“We want to remind people that they do not want their picture taken,” Tourism Specialist Samantha Hayes said. “You can take pictures of the land and the horses, but not the people, as it goes against their beliefs.”

The Amish Trail is home to Old Order Amish, known for living Hayes said they also do not accept credit cards and additionally, without many modern conveniences that people can sometimes Sunday is not necessarily a good day to visit, as the Amish comtake for granted. Visitors can take a drive in the countryside munity will not be there and shops will be closed. Hayes said that Sundays would be a good day to come to just take a drive and relax.

“We’re so busy all the time, it’s nice to sometimes just slow down and relax and experience a different way of life,” Hayes said.

Some of the views able to be seen on the trail include farmlands, open spaces, “charming” backdrops, meticulous gardens, crops beginning to sprout and horse drawn plows tilling the fields. A wide variety of goods can be found at the Amish shops, from fresh maple syrup to birdhouses, to garden plants.

Hayes said people come visit the trail for various reasons.

“Everyone visits for different reasons,” Hayes said. “Some just like to go out for a drive and take in the views. Some visit because they have a big home improvement project they want help with. Others just like the fresh produce stands, cheese shops, and chocolates or a unique gift. There are over 200 shops so there is a lot to choose from.”

As some places do not have cell reception, it is also recommended to request a free map ahead of time on the website or by phone. Brochures are also available to find businesses that offer gas, bathrooms and other “English” businesses. There are several alpaca farms in the area as well and each welcomes visitors to interact with the animals, learn about what they are like and their history or purchase a product made from their fleece.

Visitors are asked to drive cautiously and watch for slow-moving, black, horse-drawn Amish buggies.

On Wednesday will be the Cross over the Line Rodeo, with bull Fair Board member Dave Wilson said the drivers requested the riding and barrel racing. Wilson said they’ve had bull riding in first derby return to Tuesday. The grand finale is set for Sun- the past and it’s been a fan favorite.

For those who haven’t been to a rodeo before, the Cross over the Line Rodeo is a small sample of what the Gerry Rodeo offers in August. Wilson said they have a good relationship with the Gerry Rodeo and didn’t want to have an event that would negatively impact the August rodeo. He said the Gerry Rodeo organizers support the bull riding at the fair.

Thursday will be another popular motor sport with the return of the Empire State Truck and Tractor Pull. The truck and tractor pulls have continued to be popular among fair goers.

“As long as things make noise, everyone is happy. Chautauqua County Fair people want noise,” Wilson said with a chuckle.

The motor sports continue in the grand stand on Friday with the return of the Black Cat Hell Drivers.

According to the driver’s Facebook page, the Black Cat Hell Drivers pride themselves on keeping an American tradition alive that dates back to 1934. during their 70 minute show you’ll see classic thrill show stunts including: • Multi-car precision stunt driving

with Headliner Tommy Z

• Two wheel stunt driving

WINERIES, RESTAURANTS, FOOD TRUCKS, CRAFT VENDORS

• High speed reverse spins

• Several Hollywood style car crashes • Motorcycle stunts

• Thrill show clown • Their 1937 Dodge sedan jump ramp to ramp • And much more.

The Black Cat Hell Drivers have been to the county fair, but not recently. “It’s something a little different. It will almost like the old Joie Chitwood Show,” Wilson said.

The Cross over the Line Rodeo, the Empire State Truck and Tractor Pull and the Black Cat Hell Drivers are all free with a paid admission to the county fair.

Saturday at the grand stand will be the Krazy Train Monster Truck Show with Bob Robbins Jr. Wilson said there will be fireworks at the show timed to some of the monster truck’s jumps. “It’s cool. Even the Monster Truck driver loves it,” Wilson said.

Like the demolition derbies, there is a charge for the grandstand seating, while the bleacher seating is free with paid admission.

Sunday is the demolition derby finale show at 4 p.m.

Even though the fair runs July 18-24, on Monday, July 17, there will be harness racing in the grandstand at 2 p.m. That day there will not be rides and most concessions are closed.

Part of the reason they are in session this day is for the harness racing as well as some of the animal judging.

MINI-STAGE If you want more than motor sports, the mini-stage will be where its at.

While the schedule has not been finalized, there are some new acts coming to the county fair.

According to Craig Moore with the county fair, Agricadabra is coming to this year’s fair. He does two different shows, one for magic and the other is a hypnotist show. “For the hypnotist

Agricadabra magic, his father has been here years ago, but now his son is doing the show too,” he said.

There will also be a puppet marionette show. According to Moore, the performer will be doing a “circus show with puppets,” including clowns and a tight rope walker.

There will be local performers as well, including a karaoke act, a martial arts demonstration, and some local dance studios will be on stage as well.

Moore said they’re in the process of lining up additional acts as well, which will be announced at a later date.

When the full schedule is ready, it will be posted on the county fair’s website, www.chautauquacofair.org.

TICKETS Advance sale tickets will be available for purchase June 19-July 17 for $10 a ticket. Gate ticket prices are $15 for people 4-61 years old. Tickets are $9 for those 62 and up. Children 3 and under are free, but will need to buy a ticket if they want to go on a ride.

Demolition Derby and Monster Truck Show tickets will also go on sale to the public on June 19 only at the fair office. The ticket will include gate admission, rides and an assigned seat in the grandstand.

The cost is $17 for Rows A-N and $14.00 for Rows O-CC. The week of the fair, rows A-N will be $22 ($16 for senior tickets 62 and over) and $19 for Rows O-CC ($13 for senior tickets 62 and over). Those prices include admission to the fair.

GLASS GROWERS GALLERY

ounded in 1974, Glass Growers Gallery (GGG) is an art gallery and gift shop located in downtown Erie, Pennsylvania at 10 East 5th Street. Neighboring the impressive Erie Art Museum, GGG presents a refined selection of paintings, photographs, pottery, glass, mosaics, jewelry, sculpture, and more. The gallery carries a diverse selection of artwork representing over 90 regional artists and over 100 artisans from across the country.

GGG believes there is a special inherent quality found in original artwork and handcrafted artisan goods. These pieces are imbued with a sense of purpose and meaning from the careful attention provided during the artistic creation process, making them acquisitions to be treasured for years to come. Glass Growers Gallery hopes visitors will feel inspired by its unique art offerings and enthusiasm for the strong Erie-based arts community.

A Changing Landscape: Erie Downtown Development If you haven’t visited downtown Erie recently, you’re in for a treat. The blocks surrounding GGG between 4th Streets and 6th Streets and between French and Peach Streets have been experiencing a major renaissance over the past five years with Glass Growers Gallery positioned at the heart of it. Rounding the corner, the shopping district The Shops at 5th and State features a variety of shops, boutiques, and restaurants. Across State Street, the Flagship City Food Hall provides a great selection of dining options and food vendors and the Flagship City Public Market features a butcher, grocer, and distillery for a convenient downtown shopping option with high-quality goods.

Many fully-equipped, stylish apartments have become available in surrounding blocks. In 2023, the downtown district is celebrating the grand opening of the new addition to the expERIEnce Children’s Museum, the ASCEND rock climbing gym, the parking garage, and additional small businesses.

Glass Growers Gallery has had the opportunity to feature artwork for sale at several off-site locations in the downtown district: the Flagship City Food Hall, the Flagship City Public Market, and the restaurant Bricks at the Cashier’s House. GGG also features artwork for sale at Werner Books in the Liberty Plaza.

These collaborations have provided GGG the opportunity to expand its limited wall space and feature more incredible artists while keeping the artwork fresh and interesting with rotating displays at these neighboring attractions. GGG invites visitors to Erie to stop in each of these places to create a gallery hop experience at any time of the day.

Supporting Unique Destinations and the Arts Visiting unique small businesses like Glass Growers Gallery while traveling is a great way to define a destination and

make your vacation or day trip extra special. With the rise of online-only shopping and big box stores, supporting small businesses is necessary to ensure different destinations will continue to offer interesting and diverse goods and experiences.

Selecting a souvenir from the offerings of small businesses is a great way to commemorate your trip while supporting the local economy.

Within the art world, galleries offer the important opportunity to experience artwork up close at its intended depth and scale, something that is difficult to replicate through digital imagery.

Galleries also allow artists the time and energy to focus on the creation process while providing the physical space, hours, and staffing to represent artists’ work to a wide network in an accessible format. GGG prides itself on showcasing artwork in a beautiful setting and sharing information and stories that convey individual artists’ processes and visions.

GGG features rotating exhibits in the main gallery every 6-8 weeks, hosts a variety of artist workshops, and participates in seasonal gallery nights through the Erie Art Museum, downtown art brunches with four other downtown galleries, and Boutique Nights with its shopping district neighbors. GGG’s art and gift offerings and event calendar can be found online at https:// www.glassgrowersgallery.com. Nationwide shipping is available (free on jewelry-only orders) and the staff is available at any time for personalized shopping consultations.

The team at Glass Growers Gallery hopes you will come visit the ever-changing gallery and that you find joy and inspiration from the artwork on display. Blocks away from the beautiful bayfront and filled with historical buildings and architecture, downtown Erie is making strides to become more alive and vibrant than ever before. GGG and its neighbors are excited to share a special, multi-faceted experience with visitors from near and far. n

“Throughout the summer, there are many types of entertainments scheduled: face painting, balloon artists, and visits from special characters,” Connelly said. “We also have several special days planned; National Carousel Day — July 26 —, National Helicopter Day — August 23 — and National Roller Coaster Day — August 16. On those dates, the corresponding amusement ride will be free for all to ride. Additionally, we’ll end the season with the annual Der Kobblers Club Car Show on Labor Day.”
