Logan County Fair

"On Friday I heard your interview from the Logan County Fair-
the Cullers folks, the people with the french fries. I'm from
Lincoln, you may or may not remember-and I had thought the
Cullers had retired years ago. (Did they used to come to the
HOI fair, or did I just imagine that?)

Anyway, my brother worked for them in 1963 (before you were born). He was 16 years old, and getting a job at the fair was a
big deal in Lincoln. I would go see him while he was working,
and point him out to my friends. (I was 9 then).

The Cullers would often give me free fries. I remember them costing 20 cents then. Your interview with them inspired me to drive to Lincoln today and walk around the fairgrounds and of course, have some french fries. My brother died in 1986, and
all my other Lincoln relatives are long deceased, so it was truly
was a trip down memory lane. Nice work, Colleen."
