A Night at the Erie County Fair

12 Aug

Yesterday ended with a gloriously cool summer’s night – perfect to enjoy the food and midway at the Erie County Fair. Forget the burger with a donut; I recommend trying the arepas at the hut located almost immediately to the west of the Chiavetta’s chicken tents, by the northeast corner of the new casino building. An arepa is a sweet corn cake sandwich with a mozzarella cheese filling, pan fried.  Although mozzarella isn’t exactly Latin American, it’s still good & worth trying.

    Did you check out the freak show? Was the dog faced boy there?

    Nice pictures, thanks for sharing. I went to the Opening Night on Wednesday, saw a brave soul with the doughnut burger and had to look away, the horror, the horror

    Nice photos, but did you visit any of the agricultural or home crafting exhibits, which were the reason that county fairs originated?
