County Fair Will Have New Home This Year; First Buildings To Go Up In May
An Artist's Conception...shows what the new West Pottawattamie County Fair will look in the future. The wheel-shaped facility actually includes seven buildings plus a covered arena. Two of the buildings--the wheel's 'Spokes"--will be constructed in May and hopefully be ready for occupation by this year's fair in August. Other buildings will be added on as money becomes available, eventually forming the center arena. The buildings will be open for use by other organizations throughout the year. Another portion of the 80-acre site will be developed into a camping area, making the new fairgrounds a year-round facility. The total concept will probably take about 15 years to complete.

The cows and hogs are gone, but the cleanup remains. Kyle Goodman, 7, Council Bluffs, pushes a shovel around the cattle pens at Westfair scooping sawdust and other debris left after the fair.

A mutual admiration society aptly describes Council Bluffs school bus driver Pat Murphy, 2516 Avenue A, and the kindergarten children of Hoover and Washington schools. "I love these children," Murphy says. And as for the children, "they would rather ride the bus than have their parents pick them up." Wednesday was the last trip of the school year for Murphy, who was showered with hugs and greetings, even presented with little candles by the youngsters. In his six year of school bus driving Murphy says he as become real fond of the children and his job.
There's trouble on the range where the buffalo roam at the Botna Bend County Park at Hancock. Things were going just hunky-dory for Doris (right) until Daisy (center) came along and started hoofing around with Dave (left). Dave cast a wooly eye in Daisy's direction, and Doris hasn't spoken to either of them since. When asked what she thought of the new romance, Doris replied. 'I could tan both their hides!" County conservation officials brought three-year-old Daisy on the scene because Doris and Dave, both 6, haven't had any little ones.
The bull elk at Botna Bend Park at Hancock takes a break under a small shade tree in his pen to get away from Southwest Iowa's warm summer sun. The tree is in its own pen to keep the elk from devouring the leaves.
