The day of setup for the 2007 Erie County Fair Charity Fundraiser |
The tables are up and the displays are taking shape |

Setup continues as the first customers arrive |
As the fair opens, more customers look over the turnings being offered |
Our booth is on the porch of the Woodcarvers Building at the Erie County Fairgrounds |

The Charity Fundraiser is an effort by the four local AAW chapters |
While the sales are of interest, it's the turning that captures attention |
WNYWoodturners 1, 2, Pembroke Woodturning Guild, and the Lockport Woodturners all pitch in |

Rich takes a moment to grab a bite of lunch |
