Let's be real here, January has been absolutely brutal. It's hard to imagine a January that has been snowier and cold than this one, and we still have all of February to get through. March always delivers one last snow event too.

But it doesn't hurt to look forward to the warmer weather and the summer will be here before you know it.

One of the events that Buffalonians look forward to the most every year is the Erie County Fair. It took 2020 off due to the pandemic, but returned last year to the delight of Western New York.

On Monday, the Fair teased a big announcement that would be made on Tuesday morning, and it didn't disappoint, as the fan-favorite promotion returned.

The Erie County Fair announced that the popular 12-Day Pass is returning and those passes go on sale on Tuesday, February 8th at 9 am!

The Erie County Fair stresses that limited quantities would be available, so make sure you get a 12 Day Pass when they go on sale.

The 12 Day Pass gets you into the fair each day with one admission, and is discounted at $45 for all 12 days. The limit is four per household and they're only on sale online.

The 12 Day Pass is something my family always got and it's awesome that it's finally returning. It allows you the freedom to just decide during those 12 days, "let's just go to the fair for a couple of hours."

I'm sure we will get more announcements on food, events and the concert lineup from the Erie County Fair over the next few weeks.
