Let it snow, let it snow, let it snow . . .

Whether you love the white stuff or can’t wait to see it go, one thing’s for sure, it’s been a regular winter visitor in Harrison County over the years. Plus, it makes for a great picture!

Harrison County Fairgrounds, 1909. This winter scene features the Little Ring area in the southwestern portion of the property.
