Central Wisconsin State Fair reports strong attendance despite heavy rain
The first annual fair of the Central Wisconsin State Fair association persevered through bad weather with a postponed program and the stock, produce, and art displays praised as exceptional. Officers were re-elected, a large turnout from across the state attended, and events including horse races and wrestling drew wide interest, with official notes on departments and judges.
