Abstract: This is the third installment of the development of "The Bells of Solano County," the first Solano County Fair. It took place in Fairfield in May 1930. The idea for the fair was conceived by David A. Weir, then publisher of the Solano Republican. He wanted to combine the newspaper's 75th anniversary with a large, agriculture-oriented fair showcasing Solano County.
