From the September 16, 2020, MidWeek (DeKalb County, Illinois) "Looking Back."
1920, 100 Years Ago.
"Is DeKalb to have a fairgrounds? While there seems to be no particular head of a movement for a fairground for the last few days the talk has been more and more on this line and there is a big chance that it will crop out in a movement.
"The argument has been , if Sandwich, which is not located on any main road either highway or railroad, can draw a 20,000 crowd, what would this city draw if the fairgrounds were located here? The argument is a good one and is causing more than one person to think it over."
A little intercounty tiff. The fairgrounds are still in Sandwich, though.
