Minnesota's Greatest Generation

Cattle judging at the Winona County Fair

A highlight of the rural year, the county fair gave farm families an opportunity to socialize with neighbors, and to show off the year's bounty. Children participating in 4-H projects dreamed of bring home blue ribbons. This photograph, from the 1937 Winona County Agricultural Extension Service Annual Report, shows Holstein and Brown Swiss cattle in the show-ring.
