The Guilford Fair, when it was held on the green <3
ReplyDeleteWe recently held our county fair (Clarke County, Va.) where my girls competed in the 4H horse show. It's a step back in time.
ReplyDeleteSuch charming photos! I love the excitement and energy they exude: the harmony of town and country, people and animals, and of course, the ladies looking smart in their shift dresses and sensible heels.
ReplyDeleteGreat photos! Thanks for sharing! What year were they taken?
ReplyDeleteI don't know, but the Guilford Fair moved from the green to the fair grounds in 1969. This is a quick history from local historian Joel Helander: https://guilfordfair.org/wp-content/uploads/2018/07/Guilford_Fair_History_Booklet_for_web.pdf
DeleteThanks!
DeleteSuch gorgeous photos - thank you for sharing with us here. Community is everything.
ReplyDeleteI have vivid (but probably inaccurate) memories of the state fair near Lewisburg, West Virginia, in the 1950s. There were no yoked oxen but they had pretty much everything else, to 4H projects, canning and baking exhibits, civil defense information, odd-looking chickens, horse racing and a carnival. Two things I remember especially were the big sheds with horses and cattle. There were large fans the created a cool and sleepy feeling. I also remember the parade of farm equipment just before the stage show. The announcer lavished very flowery language on things like Caterpillar tractors and even manure spreaders. This year's state fair ended last Saturday the 21st.
