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.
