Welcome Home Fair Week Lights Wooster Streets Roared
Old Wooster residents return as Rome and Fair week dazzles with electric lights from the public square mast and a grand torch at East Liberty. The Orrville band disappoints but later delivers a fine concert beside fireworks, while Wooster merchants and exhibitors fill the new exposition hall with diverse displays across hardware, garments, furniture, and farm machinery. Attendance soars at the Wayne County Fair with thousands daily and no serious incidents, as Friday's crowd remains strong and vendors praise local merchants' support.
