You know it's a Fair not a Carnival when you hear over the loudspeaker, "Would a vet report to the…read moreDairy Barn as soon as possible?" It seems like the entries for jams, jellies and pickles are a smaller group every year. Maybe the farmers are retiring! There are still spectacular quilts hanging from the rafters, and adult and junior photography samples line the walls. 4-H has it's own pavilion now, behind the Domestic Arts one. While the market goats, sheep, rabbits and calves are in other barns, there are dioramas explaining how a successful farmer (of any age!) raises an animal. Like the Erie County Fair, the Cattaraugus County Fair has a booth by the Department of Health where one can get a free, wrapped dose of nasal narcan. (DH and I saved a teenager from an OD last month in Ontario; but that's another story). So yes, we did each want another dose of antidote. Request it, sign for it, watch a one minute explanatory cartoon, and away you go. The DOH booth is under the grandstand seating, next to a concession that sells slices of a dozen different varieties of pies. (Yelpers, you have an assignment!) The vibe is very much a celebration of farm life: Lots of teenagers in cowboy boots and rodeo shirts; little kids in face paint, and grown men with hats of the type of tractor they favor. It's such a small Fair, as a parent you can be confident about letting the teenagers or older children have a "free-range" experience with their friends. It's fenced, so it's well contained, and there's volunteer FFs, EMS, mounted patrol, and sheriff's deputies from all over the county. The gate fee includes the cost of all rides: $17 cash, $18 credit, free if the child is younger than two. Parking near the gate is $5, which goes to support local youth programs; there's free parking about a quarter mile down the sidewalk from the gate.

It's disgusting that they allow smoking in the food areas, petting zoo, and at the rides. These…read moreplaces are full of children! Even though it's outside the air is disgusting! My niece, nephew, and I smelled like friers and ash trays when we left. I don't get the appeal to staying all day and night. I like the events, but the rest of it sucks. All the food is overpriced and not very good unless it's funnel cake or taffy. The fried dough is just over floured pizza dough with sugar sprinkled on it served cold. I mean campi pizza is literally a flavorless loaf of bread with a tiny sprinkling of cheese that doesn't even cover the sauce and 4 thin slices of pepperoni for $5 a slice *gag*. The demolition derbies, truck pulls, concerts, and monster trucks are cool, but other than that meh. I recommend going at night to see an event getting taffy and funnel cake before it and racing out after.

Krista did our wedding reception in October 2016 and I cannot compliment her and her staff enough…read more When I first contacted her she immediately replied and I could tell from our first phone conversation that I had found the company I wanted to do our reception. She was able to answer questions and offer menu suggestions or tips that might help the meal. We had several allergies she was able to accommodate and when I realized a few weeks before the wedding that we had another allergy she swiftly was able to let me know her food did not contain the allergen. This brings me to the wedding. They were there early to set up the bar and the stations and arrived with food that was nice and warm (and delicious) at the perfect time. She did a beautiful job displaying our donuts for our dessert, which is something that was above and beyond what we expected her to do! She even included placards for the different flavors. Her staff was polite and were able to get the tables called in an efficient manner. It's been two weeks and we are still getting compliments on the food we served! I definitely recommend Krista and her company for a wedding or any other event that you may have.

I am writing a partial review and will complete this review after the event, but wanted to get it…read morestarted and have no idea how to do drafts. While planning my grandson's birthday party - we decided in addition to the bounce house - we'd need some tables and chairs as well. After looking through the phone book and realizing that we knew someone in the business - we called G & E Tents, Tables and Chairs. Bob (owner) was very friendly and took the time to explain every thing to me. The prices seemed VERY reasonable and it sure beat me trying to come up with enough tables and chairs for everyone. In fact - I was surprised that the cost of renting enough tables and chairs for 50 people was in deed a rental price and not some absurd price where I could have actually purchased the stuff. They also no longer allow people to pick the items up - which I was NOT looking forward to doing. I have enough to do without worrying about picking the things up myself - and getting a truck and all that crap! So knowing they are delivering the items to us ahead of party time makes things much easier for me. As well as picking them up afterwards - saves me a ton of time and maybe a back injury! I will update this review after the party, but for now - I wanted to get this one started. FYI - After looking at the review for this business, I noticed a filtered review. Though it was positive for the company, it appeared to have come from the owner of the company. For anyone who knows the owners - it appears that the owner was trying to give some free advertising and stated, "Great Tents, Excellent Service!". I contacted the owner and was surprised at what I learned and realize that though the comment was positive - it was not from the owner. In the Yelp community and for some people who look at reviews, seeing an owner comment doesn't normally sit well. So though it appears to be something good - for some - it is not good nor is it a proper way to conduct business and therefore may opt not to do business with them. Today 8-9-13 the chairs and tables were delivered to the party location. They were delivered ahead of schedule and I was not there to pay as promised, but they simply said they'd collect when they picked the items back up instead. So far - my review reflects excellent service, friendliness and professionalism. 8-10-13 - ok - so the chairs and tables are still there - not quite sure when they will be picked up, but I can go ahead and finish up this review. The tables were decent - some had cracks in them, but they were black, which is an awesome color that went well with the super hero theme! The tables were good - no construction issues. However, they were not the cleanest of tables and table clothes were needed to cover them up. Even a wipe down with bleach didn't get them clean enough - SO - make sure you have a roll of something to place on each table. We used red, which again was perfect for the super hero them. Overall - I will give this one a 4 star review. In order to get 5 stars those tables really need to be cleaned up and all the chairs should be in good condition.

I originally wanted to use…read morethis company, but knew I needed a dance floor so I looked at other options; ended up back at this company and just made our own dance floor. They are polite and easy to work with. They showed up on time at the park and made sure the tent was where we wanted it. We set up the tables and chairs after they had left. Everything was in good condition. A few of the chairs were dirty so we just wiped them off. We used the white wedding chairs so I'm sure they're hard to keep clean. I looked at quite a few options for tents tables and chairs, and they had the best deal. If you have a few people to help set up the tables and chairs and have a plan where you want them to go, you'll be all set!

Bounce About Inflatables - this business came to us highly recommended and after talking with the…read moreowner I realized that she puts safety where it should be and being a safety professional myself - that meant a lot to me. The bounce houses that Bounce About Inflatables carry are all of the larger size - this helps with preventing incidents from too small a bounce house. They also provide a cover - this helps with rain and shine. With a cover it prevents your children from being sunburned. They also set up the bounce house and take it down themselves - this ensures that every thing is set up correctly and there will be no worries of any problems during the party. The safety doesn't end there - their stock of bounce houses are also made right here in the USA - eliminating inferior and cheaper bounce houses you may be looking at elsewhere - again SAFETY MATTERS!. I know I may sound like a salesperson for this small business, but I'm not. I had to add this business to Yelp as I was not able to locate it. I have yet to actually have the party to know how things will actually work out for us, but wanted to get this review started. I will add too it after the party. However, the two drawbacks I have found with this business is that they are swamped with business and if you want the biggest and the best - call early and reserve your choice. Also - it would be nice if they would get into renting tables and chairs as well. I'd like more of a one stop shopping. So we shall see how this one does as far as ratings after the event is over with - for now they are doing a super job! OK - the party was a super success and the bounce house - TIGER - was super amazing and offered hours and hours of endless memorable fun. Though there were a few very minor incidents - there was no blood shed or broken bones encountered in the Tiger! The construction of this bounce house was amazing and what we put it through was just as amazing. There was not one single thing that would have made this bounce house better. We had over ten children of various sizes and some grandparents, parents, aunts and moms and dads that were easily accommodated by this bounce house as well. It was delivered and set up well in advance of the start of the party - giving my grandson some extra time to get use to it with just mom and dad. It turned out to be one of the coolest places to be on a blue sky and sunny day - almost like there was a small air conditioner in the bounce house itself - amazing! This business really knows how to do business and their new additions really make this Bounce About Inflatables THE place to check out for your next party! Due to the price, the safety features, the fantastic customer service - great friendly professional people, and the memories with pictures that this business was able to provide earns it my five star review!
