HAMBURG, N.Y. — Attendance numbers for the 2021 Erie County Fair have been released and they show a drop in visitors.

More than 980,000 people made their way to the Hamburg Fairgrounds this year. However, that is about a 14% decrease from the average attendance over the past five years.

Fair organizers say this year was purely full of "bonus days" because last year there was no fair.

Organizers also note that the 181st Erie County Fair was put together in just more than 80 days after it was approved.
