Antique machinery display adds flair to Green County Fair
Carl Jensen organized an antique machinery exhibit at the Green County Fair after local implement dealers passed on displaying new equipment. About 30 collectors contributed items from old plows to grass feeders, attracting strong interest as Jensen notes potential yearly appeal. Don Deininger, fair board president, praised the addition as a real boon to the event. Heidi Dorn earned a wool award for her skirt in the fair’s sheep show.
