County Fair
United 1951
November 2015
I bought County Fair over 30 years ago as part of a package of three games. It was added to the list and did not cost much to ship so I did not complain. Little did I know it was a rare game. It later helped me set a theme for my collecting, that of horse race games. It is my only horse race pinball and I added a Paces Race and an Evans Races in order to continue the theme.
