Lawrenceburg Fair Awards – 1880

Awards from the Lawrenceburg, Dearborn County, Indiana Fair for 1880 appeared in:
Lawrenceburg Register – 21 Oct 1880 – Page 4, Column 3

THE FAIR.

The inaugural meeting of the Lawrenceburgh Agricultural Association and our new racing course was in every particular successful. Unfortunately the weather operated against the Fair, but in spite of this fact the meeting ended a success. To the officers, Col. Bannister, President; Henry Fitch, Secretary; and the Board of Directory, every praise is due. The accommodations of the track and the arrangements thereof are excelled by none, and with a little more age will be the superior of any track in this part of the State.

The display and attractions outside of the speed list were fully up to the standard of any county fair. The Floral and Mechanic Halls were crowded to overflowing with fancy and staple articles competing for premiums. Several of our merchants made creditable displays of their goods. The arrangement of the two halls was in good taste, and every appointment was complete.

The Directors will go in for a Fair next year with renewed efforts, and it will be a boomer. These fairs will be of great value to the business men of this city, and should be looked on with favor by them. We regret that we cannot give the full award of premiums this week.

Below is the result in the speed rings:

S. E. Ind. Agl. S. Fair.
The following is the award of premiums at the above Fair, not published in our last issue:

W. H. Small drew the premium on sewing machine, and afterward I discovered he had not paid the entry fee of 50 cts., which he refused to pay. It would be well not to advertise his machine in this list until he pays. For this is about as good a place as can be found to advertise.

Southeastern Indiana Fair Awards – 1872

Aurora Dearborn Independent – 12 Sep 1872 – Page 3, Column 2

Southeastern Indiana Fair.
A Success in Every Respect.
List of Premiums Awarded.

We have only time and space to say a very few words concerning the fourth annual fair of the S. E. Ind. A. S. held here last week, and all that need be can be said in a few words. It was the best fair in every respect that has been held here. The number of entries were larger and the character of the stock, etc., better than ever before. The attendance was not what it has been, except that of Friday, but it was satisfactory. Politics, expositions, etc. drew on the patronage of the society this year. The receipts altogether amount to about $1,500.

Floral Hall was filled and very tastefully arranged, reflecting credit on the ladies who superintend it. Flowers, plants and fruits were the principal attractions of the Hall. We regret we cannot here give credit to the many worthy exhibitors in this department.

Among the stock were two noble herds from Kentucky, one of pure short horns owned by J. C. Jenkens of Petersburg and the other of Alderneys belonging to A. V. Shinkle of Covington.
