Women serving food at a picnic table is the detail that sets this scene apart from the livestock pens and machinery displays that usually fill county fair photographs. Fairs of this kind grew out of the agricultural societies of the 19th and early 20th centuries, when rural families came to town for judging, exhibits and a shared meal. Church and women's auxiliary groups often ran the food stands, so the work of feeding a crowd was as much a part of the fair's life as the prize cattle. Notice how the server's attention is on the line of guests, a reminder of how much of fair week depended on volunteer labor behind the scenes.
