Rain Delays and Crowds Mark Rolfe July 4-5 Meet
The Rolfe Racing Association faced rain on July 4 delaying events, but July 5 drew an estimated 6,000 spectators for ball games between Mallard and Humboldt and a crowded auto race program led by the Haynes car from Sioux City. Races were slowed by slick tracks, with results in harness and stock car events and a mixed day of entertainment including the Landes Burkholder show and Mason City band.
