  1. These are really great pictures. They capture the real essence of the fair. Thank you so much for sharing them.

  2. Nicely done!

    The “Fair” always will be a special happening

    Would love to be able to have one more Ray Magno ice cream bar (“Have an ice cream!) and see Mert K once more in a sulky

  3. We really enjoyed the Fair pictures. Wish there were more.
    They brought back memories of French fries with salt and vinegar,
    eating pies from St. Joseph’s Booth, walking the midway ,chatting with
    friends, getting dizzy on the tilt-a whirl and working in the grandstand
    during the races. The exhibition hall was always so full of beautiful work done by hard-working people. I could go on but you get the idea. Always great to look forward
    to every year.

  4. A prime selection of scenes and very well done. I regret the failure to memorialize the booth offering foot-long hot dog wrapped in bacon and coated with a beer batter. Future generations will see this as a land-mark in our progress to intravenous cholesterol booths. Maybe next year.
