[Accrs] Pullman Porter History - Rising From The Rails

[Alameda County Central Railroad Society]

Did anyone add the fair attendance for us? I eyeballed it as 50000+.

The total fair attendance was 445000 which means that we held our own.
Also, most of us don't count  the back door entries and they seemed to
increase this year, because of the blacksmith shop.

One of the fair directors walked through on Monday and stopped to talk to
Dick Stark and me. He mentioned counting the back door entries.
Fortunately, everything was running very well at the time.
