Must See: Sea Lion Show Steals Spotlight At Erie County Fair

If I told you to close your eyes and picture the Erie County Fair, chances are you would see cows, horses, sheep, and pigs.

You probably picture the Ferris wheel, rides, games, and smoke coming from the BBQ pits staggered around the fair.

The last thing that might pop into your mind is sea lions.

But, I am here to tell you that one of the most unique shows at the Erie County Fair is the sea lion show, and it is free with your admission ticket.

The sea lion show that my wife Elizabeth and I saw featured two sea lions. One was over 20 years old, and the other was 7 years and they were amazing.

Sea Lions were not the one animal that I thought of when we were planning on heading to the Erie County Fair. We always love seeing the cows and the horses.

Of course, the Fair is great for people watching, too!

You still have a couple more days to check out the "12 Best Days Of Summer" at the Hamburg Fairground. The Erie County Fair runs until August 17th. Gates open every day at 11 am.

The Sea Lion Show might be one of my favorite parts of the Fair this year, of course but the fair has so much to offer.
