I am looking for information on a county fair, I believe this is what it was. In the 1930's and 1940's, I've been told, there was a fair where people would bring their vegetables, fruits, etc and win ribbons for them, in MO. I am curious if anyone remembers or has heard of it. Also, I would like to know if there would be any record of the entries in this "fair". Please pass this on to anyone who you think might have an idea of what I am talking about.

In Shadow Rock Park in old Forsyth, county seat of Taney County, Missouri there were county fairs in those years of which you speak I'm pretty sure. Although, we left Christmas Eve in 1935 and did not return until 1946 the old weekly newspapers would tell for sure about the county fairs there. They can be read at the Forsyth Library on microfilm. I hope to check if those years are included in their collections the next trip down the last of this month. Who are you related to in that area? My cousin, Mable (Coffelt) Stallcup did have entries in the "fair" there for years. She was the daughter of my aunt Nellie (Pickett) Coffelt who was a sister of Andrew Pickett, my Dad. ----- Original Message ----- From: Lady Leeann <rood01@mtaonline.net> To: <MOTANEY-L@rootsweb.com> Sent: Saturday, October 12, 2002 2:15 PM Subject: [MOTANEY] 1930's - 40's county fair > I am looking for information on a county fair, I believe this is what it was.
