DescriptionBucket chairs, apparently made of plastic, are beside a small building with animal figures on the roof. Cows are on the roof of a nearby building. A stagecoach with a sign that reads "Overland Stage Co." and buckboard are on a grassy lawn between the two buidlings.
NotesSubject Note: The Danbury Fair was an annual exhibition held in Danbury between 1821 and 1981. At first a traditional agricultural fair, the event later included large fiberglass sculptures, stock car racing, and amusement park rides. The former fairground is now (2011) the site of the Danbury Fair Mall. (Finlay 3/25/2011)
