Fair Pony Pulling and Ball Game Draw Big Night Crowd
A large first night crowd enjoyed pony pulling contests and a softball game at the fair. Jack Cabbage managed the event and became the first to win all three horse pulling classes at the state fair recently. The Commercial building showcased hobbies and exhibits with strong support, while a few commercial exhibitors attended. Office staff, including Diane Bullington and Mrs. Adams, compiled results and fielded many questions. The carnival offered varied rides with good evening business. daytime crowds focused on judging and exhibits. The water wagon aided dusty grounds, and President Austin Bass looked toward retirement as fair duties continue. Hillsdale church ran a bustling four-day food stand, and a Red Angus calf shown by Charles Paul drew interest as likely the fair’s first.
