The Fresno Fair - As Seen Through the Lens of Claude C Pop Laval (Paperback)

Detailing the excitement of the Fresno Fair, this collection of Claude C. "Pop" Laval's magnificent photographs, many of which are available here in print for the first time, showcase the history of this yearly event.First opening in 1883 with five days of horse racing, a live stock exhibit, and a few small produce stalls, the fair soon became a huge success, as only five years later, a grandstand was added to the fairgrounds. Agriculture, industrial, and commerce exhibit halls followed in the early 1900s, and a wooden race track was built in 1920. Perfect for Fresno citizens and historians alike, this compilation is sure to delight.
