Kossuth County Fair Aims High Despite Rainy Setback
A detailed look at the 1913 Kossuth County fair notes strong Wednesday and Thursday attendance with 8402 and 8201 paid admissions. Friday rain reduced margins, but organizers praise traffic, order, and stable exhibits. Horse, cattle, poultry displays impress, baby show expands, and Dr. Armstrong’s team handles the new judging method. President Walcott and Deputy Sheriff Sampson receive special credit for crowd management and safety.
