You may spend most of your Fair cash on something tasty to eat on the grounds, but many vendors offer rarely-seen gift items you can take home as souvenirs of a wonderful day at the Fair. PAN AF STUFF 17The Iroquois Village is a treasure trove of handmade jewelry, leather goods and decorative items that represent the ancient Haudenosaunee culture.

The Pan African Village is another venue for great keepsakes, most with Caribbean or African styling. WESTERN WEAR 17Elsewhere you can find an enormous variety of great stuff from western wear to kitchen items and craft pieces, clothing, pet supplies and just about anything else you can name.

It’s never to early to start your holiday shopping, especially if you want to buy something you won’t see at the local mall.
