After the 47th annual Fayette County Fair closed, attendees were effusive in their praise. All over the county, comments such as, ‘They’re on the right track now. This is getting to be a first-class show,’ were heard. Fair Association President R.J. (Dick) Edwards estimated more than 30,000 people attended the four-day event. An exact headcount was impossible because when a huge crowd was waiting to enter the grounds on Saturday night, the decision was made to simply throw open the gates to let the throng enter. Fairgoers showed their appreciation for the new and improved facilities like the German-Czech Mart and county exhibit hall, and the antique show, horse show, tractor pull, youth rodeo, cattle program, etc. The professional vaudeville acts also were rated as quality entertainment. Hats off to all the dedicated volunteers who made it possible.
