Cheese Day Events Mix Dances Races and Rides in Carroll County
Fragments describe a Saturday program with two dances in Bailey's Cafe and Community Hall, a feature fight at night, a horseshoe tournament at 10 am, and contests for boys and girls under fourteen with cash prizes. A merry go round ferris wheel and food stands decorate the day.
