Phillips County Museum News for July, 8, 2015

Are you ready? It’s almost time to celebrate 100 years of the PC Fair. The articles of Incorporation for the PC Fair were filed on August 27, 1915. Capital stock was $50,000.00 and shares were sold for $10.00 each. Members of the original group were Thomas Landon, J Brown, George Dutro, Daniel Nicholson, A J Barrett, Tom Kelly, and John Barker. Then in December the stockholders elected W O Sampson, Dave Waddell, Adolph Ereaux, and Roy Lee to membership. Land for the fairgrounds was purchased from Dan Nicholson. And that folks was the beginning of 100 years of the PC Fair.

Museum hours are Monday – Saturday 10 a.m. until 5 p.m.
