No Iowa State Fair In 1944 Says Sec Lloyd Cunningham
State Capitol News Letter reports Iowa State Fair likely canceled for 1944 due to wartime factors. Army occupation of fairgrounds as a shortage depot and exhibit logistics leave little time to prepare for a fair in 1944, with 1945 also in question. Cunningham seeks $1,250 owed by the army for half the cost of a survey on facilities.
