Taylor County fair mislabelled centennial celebration revealed
Taylor County residents attend a fair promoted as the centennial version of the 100th Taylor County Fair. Research by Jeanne Hoffman shows there was no 1895–1900 fair period, with earlier gatherings including women bazaars and horse races. Demonstrations by 4-H clubs focus on homemade toys, ice cream, and breadmaking as a centennial quilt fundraiser supports the 4-H foundation.

Centennial quilt raffled to aid county 4-H foundation
Mary Ann Sweda and her son Matthew of Lublin created a centennial quilt raffled to raise funds for the Taylor County 4-H foundation. The project dates to a period when no Taylor County Fair occurred between 1895 and 1900, making the quilt five years premature for the centennial celebration.
