The Redwood gazette. [volume] (Redwood Falls, Minn.) 1873-1940, 1910-10-11
COUNTY FAIR
MADE GOOD
Splendid Attendance, Better Than
Average Display Of Stock,
Poultry and Produce.

In point of attendance, exhibits
and entertainment, the 1910 Red
wood county fair appears to have
ranked among the best. While the
ladies may have missed the domestic
department. which was dispensed
with this year in order that better
premiums might be offered for stock
and farm produce. particularly the
former, we have heard little criti-
cism on that account. The encour-
aging fact is that the stock pens
were filled, the poultry display was
the best eyer seen here at a county
fair, at least. while the display of
corn and potatoes at the industrial
contest showed no falling off in that
department.
In the following list of awards, no
mention is made of the special prem
ium offered by the Straus Bros. Co.,
which was won by Thomas McKay's
son for white corn and by
for yellow corn.
Last Wednesday, the second day
of the fair, the attendance was prob
ably the largest ever seen here,
though of course there has been no
exact record made either of this or
past fairs.
