5 Things You Will See At Every Lawn Fete In Western New York

As we cruise our way through June and head into July, it is almost time for lawn fete season here in Western New York.

If you grew up here in Western New York or have lived here for at least one summer you have seen signs posted all over town for lawn fetes.

From Queen of Heaven in West Seneca to St. John Paul's Lawn Fete in Lakeview anywhere you go in Western New York this summer you are bound to see people having a good time at a lawn fete.

For me, the best part of the lawn fete is the chance to win some cash with Pull Tabs. I remember growing up in West Seneca and every summer we would visit my cousins in Elma and head to the lawn fete out there on Clinton Street. I would always run over and buy some pull tabs. Trying to find three cherries was the ultimate dream for any kid in Western New York.
