This is a “Premium Book” for the fifteenth annual Henry County Fair and Horse Show, held at Clinton in Henry County, Missouri, on 25-27 July 1963.  Included are a schedule of events, categories and regulations for exhibits, and many advertisements for area businesses.

 

The Henry County Fair Association sponsored the annual fair and horse show, which probably was a successor to the Golden Valley Horse Show (See WHMC-Rolla collection number R943.).  This 128-page “premium booklet” informed exhibitors and fair-goers about the fair and its associated activities, including “animal health requirements” for livestock exhibitors.  Events included a parade, flower and pet shows, youth day, agricultural and horticultural contests, a trac­tor pull, a horse show, and a dinner of barbecued beef.  Entertainment was provided by the Kansas City Ararat Temple Shrine Band and George Runquist at the Hammond Organ.
