Eclipses Last Year at the Indiana County Exhibition
The Thirty eighth Annual Exhibition of the Indiana County Agricultural Society draws crowds as fine swine, sheep, cattle, and poultry displays shine. Breeds from Berkshires to Shorthorns, Holsteins, and Herefords headline the fair with World’s Fair connections noted. The Horticultural Hall overflows with fruits, jellies, vegetables, and home crafts, while machinery and musical displays enchant visitors. Parachute jumps, trapeze acts, and bicycle races promise daily thrills for about 500 onlookers.
