If you plan on attending the Erie County Fair, be sure to stop at the Historical Building and have a look at the joint display created by the Alden Historical Society and the Newstead Historical Society in honor of the Bicentennial of the two towns.

The Erie County Fair opens this week and in honor of our joint Bicentennials, the Alden Historical Society and the Newstead Historical Society worked together to establish a display that represents key industries and businesses that were instrumental in the development of our respective towns. Thanks to Pat Pearce from Newstead, and Chris Gust, Sue DeWitt, Mike DeWitt, Sandy Dussault and Karen Muchow from Alden for planning and setting up the display.
