Alabama State Fair
Description
This is a letter to Alabama College regarding the college bringing a herd of cattle to the 1927 State Fair. The Fair was held in Birmingham, AL at the state fairgrounds and was held from September 26th to October 1st. The letter came from the desk of the general manager, J.L. Deuhc, and is said to be followed by a list of premiums for entry and a blank entry form. A letter from F.W. Burns, the Livestock specialist at Auburn prompted the letter sent to Alabama College.
Alabama College making an appearance at the state fair can be seen as a 1920’s marketing tool to increase the visibility of the college. Attending the fair also could be viewed as a way to fundraise by selling milk, other dairy products, and possibly even the cattle. It also could have served as a fun outing for the students and faculty.
