Finish of Union County Fair Ends Historic 1909 Run
The Union County 1909 fair closes at midnight after a wildly successful run. Farmers discuss next year as plans form for a repeat event. The Eastern Oregon Agricultural association and the Commercial club spearheaded the effort with strong local support. Attendance lagged slightly as locals, busy with daily fair activities, attend fewer hours today. Guests from Elgin join in the final day as entertainment and free amusements promise a larger finale.
