This is a booklet containing rules, program, advertisements, and other information concern­ing the “Christian County Stock & Agricultural Show & Home Coming,” held at Ozark, Missouri, from 29 September through 2 October 1920.

 

The Christian County Stock and Agricultural Show and Home Coming Association had “no legal organization,” but was instead a volunteer association organized for the purpose of producing the fair.  In 1920 D. W. Bingham served as president and H. A. Clay was the secretary.  The major event at the fair was the “Stock and Agricultural Show,” in which competitive entries were judged in the categories of “Horses and Mules,” “Cattle,” “Swine and Sheep,” “Poultry,” “Grains and Grasses,” “Vegetables,” “Fruits,” “Flowers,” “Pastry,” “Canned Fruits, Jellies, and Vegetables,” and “Art and Textiles.”  Premiums or prizes were awarded to the best entries.

 

Many advertisements for local and area businesses constitute a significant portion of the booklet.
