Several tents weathered the wind at the fair while Jack Krise risked his safety to shut off a failing electric switch. A broken louvre door from the Home Improvement Co exhibit cost about 125 dollars. A Strong & Bridie driver test nearly caused a panic as the tent shifted. A 1000-pound heifer died after escaping and wandering toward the city sewage plant. The American Cancer Society offered a ten dollar credit for a physical examination as emergency aid units repaired after the storm.
