Evening Republican, Volume 14, Number 193, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 15 August 1910 — The Lake County Fair. [ARTICLE]

The Lake County Fair.

Next week beginning Aug. 23, and continuing until Friday night, the Lake County Fair, at Crown Point, will be on. Reports from our neighboring county say that this fair will be the greatest ever held in northern Indiana. The Lake County Fair has run a night fair for the past fewyears—on the carnival order and have big doings at night with all the special attractions going, band concerts, dancing pavilion, side shows, etc. Fifty race horses are on the grounds waiting for the sho\y to commence and other large strings will come in tKe last of this week. It looks like a dozen starters in every race. The free attractions consist of ten European actors and Dare Devil Longo, who will go up in a balloon every day and shoot himself out of a cannon and come down with a parachute. The Lake County Fair has the reputation of delivering the goods and for this reason many residents of Jasper county are going over for they know they will see a real fair and not an ordinary pumpkin show. Judge Hanley, of Rensselaer, is going to drive his young trotter in the races and this, too, will draw lots of, Rensselaerites—especially those owning automobiles.
