Beasor is a retired carpenter for
the Buffalo Raceway. But he still
helps at maintenance and putting
bleachers -together for the Erie
County Fairgrounds.
/ He just can’t seem to get away
' from fairs.
Is his 1982 fair attendance a
world record?
“I got in touch with Guiness, but
they say that you need a com
petitor to set a record,” he said.
So, are there any competitors out
there?
‘fair
when ray mother and father were
still alive,“ he said.
“We went to 13 that year.
“And it just sorta has grown
since then.”
For example in 1975, he went to
25; t 065 in 1975 and 89 in 1976. .
, But 1982 is his best year yet.
After a tour of the exhibits-and
animals at-Manheim - his, 114th
fair since June 19 - he was off to
Unionville. And he wants to tut
Dillsburg, too. /
In Lancaster County, his only
