1927 Titus County Fair Brochure
We scanned and posted several pages from the 1927 Titus County Fair brochure (our first fair) below. We did not post the entire brochure because the large graphics require too much to server space and bandwidth, but thought that you might enjoy seeing some of the brochure.

TO THE PEOPLE OF TITUS COUNTY
It is in response to a demand from the agricultural interest of this county that the Chamber of Commerce has arranged for the initial exposition to be held this fall. This task is a large one, and, of course, the first Fair cannot be as good as we wish it to be, but with the help of everybody it can made into a great annual affair. We ask your co-operation. Will you give it?
