Du Quoin State Fair Du Quoin, IL |
The Du Quoin State Fair was founded in 1923. The main entrance shown here was built in 1948. It features twin gate houses. A metal arch with the words "World Trotting Derby" connected them. It previously read "Hambletonian". In 2010, just after these photos were taken, the Fair stopped hosting the World Trotting Derby and the letters were removed. The Duquoin State Fair letters are also missing now. For more, see this website. [map] |
