Ten Thousand Attend Wichita Fair Day and Corn Show

The Wichita fair drew over ten thousand visitors as business houses closed and workers joined the event. A standout exhibit featured a colossal ear of corn near three feet long, drawing praise from visitors including Jacob Dold of Bushnell. The poultry, pumpkins, and prize cattle displays drew crowds, while horse and cattle shows and a vivid array of agricultural products filled the grounds. The crowd reacted to a horse race with excitement, though officials reviewed a disputed heat before continuing, signaling ongoing competition and community interest in the fair’s final outcomes.
