WOODBURY COUNTY FAIR ’ S “ OLD TOWN ”
Step back in time and stroll the boardwalk of " Old Town ." Woodbury County Fair is proud of the efforts to preserve some of the history of the county on the fairgrounds . The " Old Town " village includes a one-room school moved to the grounds from Wolf Creek Township . The " Concord Mercantile " is a popular destination for fair goers ; penny candy and Sioux City Sarsaparilla are on sale in the country store . Cross the street and you come to the Blunk House and the Peiro-Bethel Church . Come sit a spell in the Peiro Church , built in 1878 Grant Township residents worshiped in this church until 1966 . Blunk House serves as the parsonage to our " Old Town " Church and houses craftsmanship of the era . The Gazebo is another quiet spot to sit and visit away from the hustle and bustle of the main fairgrounds . The Old Glory Dance Hall previously stood beside the Antique Building here on the fairgrounds . The east block of " Old Town " is completed with the Depot ; you can find actual train track and platform bricks when you visit ' Pepper Junction .' Cross the street again and you can step into the " Old Town " Post Office . The Little Egypt School contains post office furniture removed from the post office in Haverhill , IA . The Marshall ' s office houses jail cells , which once served as a confinement place for those who were unruly in the town of Pierson . The Sadler House contains many vignettes depicting life in the early days of Woodbury County . Bollin Stable serves as the Livery Barn and houses the Meyer Petting Zoo during the fair . Come watch Blair Smith " The Chainsaw Sculptor create woodcarvings that will be auctioned off on Sunday of the fair . Bring your children and grandchildren to play old-fashioned games ( hole in the bucket & stick horse races ), participate in a spelling bee , or take a spin around the pedal farm . Come experience days of yesterday in Woodbury County Fair ' s " Old Town ".
