Green County Fair attendance dips with 38 170 visitors
The 107th Green County Fair ended with 38 170 attendees, down 3 621 from 1960. Secretary Rolland E. Karlen said daily totals aligned with last year except Friday, and gate receipts showed a loss likely offset by lower expenses. Livestock judging crowned multiple grand champions across Poland China, Chester White, Hampshire, and Duroc Jersey divisions, with notable wins by the Brewer and Zuhlke families and a Best Pig Showman award to Verlen Gene Eberle.
