Rain dampens crowd at Bremer County Lite Fair
Rain fell after a promising turnout at Bremer County's Lite Fair in Waverly. Despite strong sales of prize stock and crowded exhibits earlier, ongoing showers reduced attendance, with Holstein and cattle displays drawing many visitors before the weather turned. Local breeders from Waterloo, Black Hawk and other counties showcased horses, Shorthorns, Herefords, and swine amid a heavy Holstein presence, as fair officers weighed prospects for record attendance against the dampening forecast.
