“We felt like it was a really cool way to kind of commemorate this year's celebratory year, being the 175th,” said Troy Elwer, Promotions and Operations Manager. “The way that you can actually purchase that merchandise, if you go to our website at allencofair.com you'll see a scrolling screen at the top that says, fair wear. You click on that and you can make your purchases online.”
