Old Gillespie County Fair Grounds Razing Marks Era End
Razing work began Monday on the Gillespie County Fair Grounds three blocks from Fredericksburg center. W. K.

Time frame to clear the remaining buildings is not set, with work to begin on the livestock exhibition barn thereafter. Continued on page 12, sec. 1
