Animals, 4H & FFA Exhibitors & Domestics Building
Every year Cattaraugus County youth prepare to showcase the hardwork they have done to show their pigs, cows, horses, chickens, even alpacas and more! Check out the daily schedule of shows and stop in to watch. There are also exhibits of artwork, sewing, baking, canning, vegetables and so much more! Be sure to stop in the Youth Building as well as the displays of similar work done by local adults in the Domestics Building.
Food and Vendors
Our fair offers all the typical fair foods you crave throughout the year! We have the best and biggest slices of pizza and fried dough, awesome homemade pies, tasty ice cream, fresh curly fries, taffy, candy apples, and, of course, hearty Italian sausage sandwiches!
Vendors come from several states as well as local groups looking to fund their projects for the upcoming year. Our fair would not be what it is without the many vendors who showcase throughout the week!
