View of people attending the Galax, Virginia fair. Note the object in the middle of the photo, which is likely a strength test carnival game with the large hammer lying on the ground near a man sitting on a stool. Shown to the right of the photo is a CocaCola stand, and another stand to the left of the photo. The sign on the stand says "Lewis' Dogs." Photo was likely taken in 1910-1920 in spring or early summer.
