The state votes tax support to county fairs only if no gambling or liquor sales occurred on fairgrounds, with affidavits due by November 1. Reports say many fairs allowed gambling, while other notes recount blackbird migrations, fake eye doctors exposed in Cresco, and visits from Colfax native sons including Stella Everett and Captain James Norman Hall.
