Description
The fair ground's stone gateway, built by the Works Progress Administration (WPA) in the late 1930s. It reads 'Fair Week June 26 - July 2" and two large spot lights are positioned above it. Beyond is the large two-story structure of the Forx Roller Rink, with a sign over the front reading "Dancing. Roller skating." Two Coca-Cola signs hang on either side of the entryway. It is a sunny day and the area is covered with snow, but pathways have been plowed.
