Extra! Extra! Bunnies Multiply, Cakes Satisfy at 1960 Dakota County Fair
The county fair fun of the past wasn't all that different from what attracts fair-goers today.
Aug. 18, 1960: Before motocross races and demolition derbies, there was good old-fashioned horse racing at the Dakota County Fair in 1960, as you'll see in a photo published in a 1960 edition of the Dakota County Tribune.
But some of the classics remain—bunnies and baked goods among them—as you'll see in our other photo snagged from that historical newspaper issue.
