Fort Bend County Fair, 1951

W. K. 'Boots' Helmcamp was the Fort Bend County Fair President back in 1951. The Helmcamp family saved this fair handbook. I really enjoyed looking through it.

YouTube has stringent restrictions on the size and duration of videos posted there, so this is just a quick look through some of the pages in the handbook. (It contains 256 pages in total.) I'll try to find a better way to present this kind of document, but for now you'll have to hit the pause button if you want to take a longer look at some of the pages.

I added musical accompaniment from Adolph Hofner, Milton Brown & His Musical Brownies, The Joe Patek Orchestra, and The Light Crust Dough Boys. I figured that's the kind of stuff you'd hear on KFRD back in those days.
