Eau Claire fair unveils dairy barn and milking parlor
A new 60 by 200 foot dairy barn and a five stall milking parlor christened at Eau Claire County fairground aim to reduce overflows and increase exhibitable cattle. Funded in part by 44000 federal revenue sharing, with additional 3000 sought for electrical work. Donors from county Holstein breeders and area businesses backed the project. The facilities allow more room for commercial exhibits and a single large tent. Agricultural Olympics debuted and free milk was offered by Arrow Harvesters of Independence.
