The Fair Is In Town


Remembering The Fair At The Museum

The new temporary exhibit at the museum highlights the Webster Parish Fair of the 1950s. For those that grew up in the area during that time, the beginning of the Fall season is "Fair Time"! A time filled with cotton candy, sideshow barkers, greased poles and greased pig competitions, parades and the Fair Queen contest. Photos are from the Bob Grambling Collection and span all of the 1950s.
