Old Buller County fair and farmers market in Hamilton memories
Thomas Shroyer recalls a quarter century of Hamilton markets with ox teams and one horse wagons, strawberry culture led by Larry Burns and Idd Clark, and the evolution toward motor trucks. He notes the Buller County Agricultural and Horticultural Society, later Cary Petrotechnical society, and highlights past exhibitions such as B. El Hav erland strawberries. He also covers the 1880 strawberry show and the 1846 Farmers National Congress in Columbus with delegates from Ohio.
