Printed around 1935 by the Donaldson Litho. Co. of Newport, Kentucky, this chromolithograph is catalogued as stock number 5660, a standard design the firm could offer to any fair that wanted a poster. Stock posters like this were printed in quantity with open space for a local fair's name, dates and attractions, so the same artwork could advertise many events across the country. Its subject headings point to farm produce, a reminder of how central the harvest and its exhibits were to county fairs of the 1930s.
