Any organization or enterprise which reaches its
ffties has an indisputabe recommendation has
seasoned it-experence has improved Improvement
and progress go hand in hand-each year brings
better fair.
It is the support of the community which has built
the fair it's present proportions That support has
earned place among the three four best county
fairs in the state.
Through the ffty-eght years the grounds have been
improved from a pasture to modern show place
equipped with barns to house livestock, buildings for
