1908 Clare County Fair

A photo of horse racing at the Clare County Fair in 1908. In 1908 it was held September 23-25. Typically, county fairs were held just after the farm harvest. The September 25, 1908, issue of the Clare Sentinel reported, “The Clare county fair, held at Harrison is a success. The line of exhibits is most commendable. The horse races yesterday were watched with much interest and the ball game afforded much amusement for the fans. A good crowd was present yesterday Clare and Farwell being well represented. Farwell band furnished music. Credit is due to the present officers J.R. Brown, W.H. Browne, and L.W. Sunday.”
