This year's theme in the Historical Building at the
Erie County Fair (Aug 9-20) was "Christmas Traditions."
The Schoolhouse #8 exhibit in the Historical Building depicted
children in a one-room schoolhouse making a red & green
paper chain and stringing popcorn, while the teacher was
getting ready to decorate for Christmas with a string of
red beads. Above the chalkboard is a "Merry Christmas"
banner, and in the back of the room is a small Christmas tree.
