Tuesday Opening Sparks Plains County Fair Exhibition
A Tuesday opening draws crowds to the exhibition and flower show with top specimens on display. Daily inspections by a large crowd, a new plan featuring carriage and automobile rides, and reduced entry charges in some departments boost attendance. Old exhibitors return, the midway buzzes with acts, and the Aqueduct police display returns with daily horse events and handsome prizes. The Plains area has hosted an annual fair for seventy five years dating back to 1870.
