Two women with sly smiles entice visitors to attend the Greenleaf Fair in 1888. That year’s fair was hosted by the Washington County Agricultural and Mechanical Association.
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
