Lassen County Fair Week

Big Wheel competition, Lassen County Fair, 1923..

It is that time of year and well personally, I have never adjusted to having the county fair in July. The first fair in 1878 was held in October. In 1922, when the fair became an annual event it was usually held in September. Then after World War II it changed to the third week in August. Like so many events they evolve over the years.
