Aug. 18, 1960: Before motorcross races and demolition derbies, there was good old-fashioned horse racing at the Dakota County Fair.

But some of the classics remain—bunnies and baked goods among them. These photos from the Dakota County Tribune reflect many of the same traditions as do photos taken just last year.

Check out more events, exhibits and archives at the Dakota County Historical Society, 130 Third Ave. N., South St. Paul.
