Another great year at one of the largest county fairs in the country.  Weather was great, except for the occasional monsoon, lol.

A full schedule of "Demo Days", where groups engage visitors to demonstrate their conservation efforts.  Whether it be fur dreamcatchers or Lyme disease awareness, the presentations are informative and educational.

Ultimate Stunt Circus

The aerial acrobatics of the BMX riders amazed and thrilled everyone that watched them in action.

Demo Days

Building supervisor Frank Miskey Sr. made sure that visitors had a full schedule of demo days - where different environmental/conservation groups can showcase what they represent and how they contribute to conservation efforts.

BEST DAYS
Duck Race

A new addition to the building was the Duck Race.  "Contestants" had to operate old fashioned hand pumps to generate a fast water flow down multiple ramps and finally to the finish line.  While this was designed with kids in mind, there were plenty of adults that jointed in for the fun.

Phone Charging Station

The Erie County Federation of Sportsmen's Clubs donated phone charging stations so that visitors can charge their mobil devices.  We are adding additional charge stations throughout the fair in 2027.

Building Displays

Both buildings in the complex showcased displays from multiple groups.
