Nebraska 1937 State Fair Closes After Six Days
Lincoln Nebraska reports the 1937 state fair closed after six days with 177,489 paid admissions, down from 84,112 last year in attendance. Secretary Perry Reed notes the event likely broke even with a possible small surplus, while gates and pari mutuel windows showed gains and day and evening prices stayed at 50 cents. Several attractions fell behind last year, and officials blamed infantile paralysis in the region for lighter crowds, especially on Children's Day.
