Jasper County Democrat, Volume 1, Number 17, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 6 August 1898 — Street Fair Proposed. [ARTICLE]

Street Fair Proposed.

There is some talk of having a street fair at Rensselaer some time during the coming month or early in October. Street fairs are proving very popular, and if properly conducted do much to benefit a town. Probably the oldest and most successful one in Northern Indiana is at Peru, where great gatherings are had every year. Most of our readers are familiar with the manner in which these fairs are conducted, therefore it is unnecessary to enter into any explanatory details. We hope to see the matter taken up by our people and trust that it will prove so satisfactory in every way that in the futfire the annual street fair at Rensselaer may be the event of the year.
