Schnecksville Fair Posts Best Of Show Winners
SCHNECKSVILLE (Mont
gomery Co.) The 20th annual
Schnecksville Community Fair
had major rain related problems
from Wednesday through Satur
day.
On Friday, which for years has
been the best day, the fair did not
even open due to torrential rains
which measured 2.5 inches. Plans
were made to continue the fair
through Sunday, but again the
rains came.
All in all, President Paul
Schwarz was quoted as saying,
“We got bombed.” Final figures
show that attendance was down
one-half from the previous year.
All the competitive exhibit
competitions were conducted. Of
