WATCH A DECADE OF OLD KENDALL COUNTY FAIR PARADES ON YOUTUBE

Parades from 1962 - 1974 Were Uploaded for All to See

Our minds were blown when reader Ross Ebner commented that his dad, John Ebner, had uploaded parades he had filmed in the 60's and 70's to YouTube.

You can watch parades from 1962 - 1974. And it's just as amazing as it sounds. But don't take our word for it: watch for yourselves!

THE KENDALL COUNTY FAIR IN THE 1920'S 🤠

The Kendall County Fair has been a Boerne tradition since the early 1900's. The first fair was held in the “Opera House” located in downtown Boerne on September 4, 1905.

In, 1913, the Ferdinand Ludwig Von Herff Family donated 55 acres of land to the Kendall County Fair Association and the County Fairgrounds were born.

Fun fact: to ensure the Fair continued for generations, the deed strictly forbade the sale of the property.
