Central Stanley County Fair Report Cards a Success
The first annual fair drew steady crowds with ample amusements and solid finances though exhibits lagged Philip harvests. John Mayer’s horse won the half mile cow pony race, Taggert’s horse took second, and Butler’s horse won the half mile trotting. A rain-delayed two day schedule capped with larger crowds Saturday and Sunday, while baseball and auto races provided drama. An on-field dispute marred a Lead vs Philip game after a late stoppage and disputed umpire decisions.
