On Friday, the non-betting Erie County Fair races will be conducted beginning at 1 p.m. at the Hamburg half-mile oval. The regular wagering card will follow later in the day at 5 p.m.
Closing night will be on Saturday with a 6 p.m. post. It will be Erie County Fair Night at the track with admission tickets to be given away throughout the program to lucky fans.
