Thursday brings the first full day of the Erie County Fair, and there is plenty to do. From a slew of new animal-themed exhibits to new foods to try, there really is plenty to do that you've never experienced before -- no matter how long you've been coming to the fair.
Admission: $4 for admission and $4 for parking
Rides Deal: $30 for a full day of rides on the midway
5 Things To Do at the Erie County Fair:
- Visit the Heritage & History Center and learn why the fair touts itself as the Birthplace of the Hamburger.
- Step back a few decades with the Happy Together Tour featuring The Turtles, Chuck Negron, formerly of Three Dog Night, and others. Show starts at 7:30 p.m.
- Funnel cake. Those two words make any fair. Whether the traditional (or non-traditional: hello fried cheesecake funnel cake!), no fair trip is complete without one.
- Stop by the TWC News tent and meet Mike O'Brian, our Getaway Guy. And don't forget to ask him about his recent trek to national parks across the state!
- Catch the new Circus Incredible show near the Showplace (at 12 p.m., 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.). A family trio will perform aerial stunts 25 feet in the air!
