I may have been 4 or 5 years old, and I think I attended more than one year. It had a recessed area on Eastern Street where the city busses pulled in and unloaded/loaded. Almost everyone rode the bus to the fair. It was a much smaller fair than the one later built across town. I remember riding the Farris Wheel, and I think I remember it being called The Big Dipper. I also remember tasting my first cotton candy there (it was pink), and my first time to see and ride on a beautiful carousel pony was at that fair.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31117373.post-1158735657136015412006-09-20T02:00:00.000-05:002006-09-20T02:00:00.000-05:00Dustbury's CG Hill adds some nice history here.
