BUFFALO, N.Y. (WBEN) – No one can deny the passion Western New York has for the Erie County Fair. With thousands of visitors each year, the Erie County Fair has long established itself as the "go-to" summer event.

But for the "ultimate fairgoer", the Erie County Fair is a passion. Dawn Pietras was nominated as the ultimate fairgoer and was named by her peers as the ultimate fairgoer.


She volunteers for ten of the twelve days at the fair, even though most volunteers are asked to do less than half what she does.

Pietras was one of the thousands of Western New Yorkers who went to the opening day of the Erie County Fair on Wednesday. See a schedule of events for Friday by clicking here.
