郡和州際展覽會
您可以在展覽會上發現摩天輪、旋轉木馬和種種友好競賽，如手推車比賽、吃派競賽及抓豬比賽。相片中的男孩正在觀看吃派競賽，拍攝背景為1939年，堪薩斯州的展覽會上。
參加州際展覽會是一件大事，有一些人甚至會在展覽會外圍宿營，以便可以停留好幾天。以下的經驗描述來自於一個奧勒岡州波特蘭的女士。「州際展覽會是年度盛事，展覽的影響範圍視展覽的貨品種類及數量而略有不同，但位居國內各處的人們都會前來參加，參加的人們來自於半徑一百哩內。」
你曾經參加過任何的郡或州際展覽會嗎？
Ferris wheels, carousels, and friendly competitions such as the wheelbarrow race, pie-eating contest, and greased pig race are some things you might find at a fair. The boys in this photo are watching a pie-eating contest at a fair in Kansas in 1939.
Going to the state fair was a big event. Some people even came and camped out so they could stay for several days. Here's how one woman from Portland, Oregon, described the experience. "The State Fair . . . was the big event of the year. Everybody who was anybody as well as those who were not, would come from all the country round about, within a radius of a hundred miles or more, depending on what and how much they had to exhibit in stock and products."
Have you ever been to a state or county fair?
