Clay Center Fair poster

Horses are shown flying down the track on this 1893 poster for the Clay Center Fair. Racing was a major draw for fair visitors in this time period.

Fairs have been a mainstay in Kansas since before it was a state. Counties sought to draw in visitors with fair posters advertising races, grand exhibits, and livestock. To learn more about fair posters please visit: https://www.kshs.org/kansapedia/fair-posters/10124
