Monday there was a parade down the main streets of Searcy Arkansas to begin the White County Fair. Bands, floats, horses, queens, politicians, and a-lot-more strutted along the streets as cheering throngs waved to them from the sidelines.
Weather is pretty nasty this week but hopefully it will clear up before the week is out. During this Fair Mania a friend brought this picture to my husband saying he'd found it in an old fair tabloid from 1964!! Look at what they were giving away. Looks like two cars and a boat to me.
That's my husband in the foreground even though I didn't know him at the time. Second guy was a popular car dealer named Audley Bolton. Somewhere back through the years the big give-aways ended and the fair certainly is not the same without them.
