Russell County Fair poster

A symbol or prosperity, the Russel County Fair advertised its 1921 event with the image of a young woman serenely guiding an animal while surrounded by a bountiful harvest.

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
