It held its first fair in 1820 on what is now the site of the Donovan Office Building in Buffalo. One year later, Niagara County split into Erie and Niagara Counties, and so did the agricultural society. The Erie County Agricultural Society is the oldest civic, community member organization in Erie County.<\/p>\n<p>The Society\u2019s first president, Dr. Cyrenius Chapin, was also the first physician to ever come to Western New York.<\/p>\n<p>After the 1821 Fair, the Society foundered due to the poor economy in the area and the difficulty of transporting livestock over nearly impassable roads. The Society was reborn in 1841 and again started holding its annual Fair. The Erie County Fair has been held every year since 1841 with the exception of 1943, which was canceled because of World War II.<\/p>\n<p>After many years of being held in Buffalo, the Fair was moved throughout different locations in Aurora, Lancaster, East Hamburgh, (now Orchard Park) West Seneca, and Springville from 1851-1867. In 1868, the Society moved the Fair to its Hamburg location and has remained there ever-since.<\/p>\n<p>Originally, the Hamburg location for the Fair was 12 acres. Over the years, The Fairgrounds have grown to cover 275 acres. Likewise, the Fair began as a one-day event held in the fall. It too has grown to become an 12-day event held each August.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<div id=\"MainContent_content_uc_entityModuleContainerDisplay_rptr_rows_rptr_columns_4_rptr_modules_0_div_module_1\" class=\"entityContainerModule module_684 TextMediaModule moduleLarge\">\n<div class=\"modulePageTextMedia\">\n<div class=\"moduleItemContainer\">\n<div id=\"MainContent_content_uc_entityModuleContainerDisplay_rptr_rows_rptr_columns_4_rptr_modules_0_pageModule_684_1_ctl00_1_pnl_textMediaOrientation_1\" class=\"photoRight\">\n<div class=\"textMediaText textMediaMediaContainerItem684\">\n<div id=\"MainContent_content_uc_entityModuleContainerDisplay_rptr_rows_rptr_columns_4_rptr_modules_0_pageModule_684_1_ctl00_1_pnl_textContent_1\" class=\"previewArea\">\n<p><strong>Other interesting Fair facts&#8230;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The oldest building on the grounds is the Octagon Building, which was built in 1885 for $2,037.50.<\/li>\n<li>The James E.

Since 2013, it has appeared at hundreds of parades and special events across the region promoting Western New York\u2019s most popular annual event. In 2014, the Erie County Fair was ranked as the 10th largest fair in North American when compared with all state\/county fairs and expositions.<\/span><\/p>\n<p>HISTORY &#8211; In 1949, the Lowery Novelty Company of Allentown, Pennsylvania purchased this GMC \u201c250\u201d and a smaller \u201c150\u201d version for use with their wholesale business. When original, the truck was painted in a pale, \u201crobin egg\u201d blue color scheme. The truck was driven daily until the company went out of business in 1983. In 1983 Kevin Redline of Walnutport, PA purchased the truck to use in conjunction with his restoration carpentry business. In the early 1990s, after years of hauling ladders and saws, it came into the possession of Russell Kelly of Orchard Park, New York. Under Kelly\u2019s direction, the truck received an extensive restoration which was completed in 2006. Finally, it was purchased by the Erie County Agricultural Society in 2013 as part of its marketing and promotional efforts for the 175th Erie County Fair in 2014. The striking graphics and digital vinyl wrap, based on an Erie County Fair poster, was printed and installed by VSP Marketing Graphic group of West Seneca.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"clear\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div
