Hennepin County Fair, 1945
From the August 9, 1945 Minneapolis Times,”Rose Clausen, supervisor of the Hennepin County women’s department put the finishing touches on the quilt exhibit before the thirty-ninth annual fair opened this morning for a three-day run. The women’s exhibit is one of many displays and shows at the Hopkins fairgrounds.”
