Rural fair crowds despite cold forecast and rain
Crowds thronged the fair on Thursday and Saturday with large attendance, while Friday was damp and uncomfortable. Performances by Charles and Lizzie Elliott, moving pictures, and musical groups entertained spectators, and various exhibits from floral halls to livestock drew steady interest despite weather concerns. Local merchants and booths showcased extensive displays, with notable praise for Covington and Georgetown Jr. bands and Prof. Manly Bone's vocal ensemble.
