A poster for a county fair's grand parade of prize stock, with harness racing listed alongside, places this picture in the rhythm of the agricultural fair circuit that ran through much of rural America in the late nineteenth and early twentieth centuries. Fairs of this kind were both livestock competitions and social gatherings, where farm families judged animals, traded news and watched trotting horses race on a dirt track. The pairing of a stock parade with harness racing shows how fairs blended serious husbandry with popular entertainment. Look closely at the lettering and layout, which tell you as much about the fair's ambitions and its audience as the event listing itself.
