I'll close out my State Fair series with pictures of the little museum that they have on the grounds. It's stacked to the rafters with the most amazing collection of Fair flotsam going back decades, even a century or more. There's everything from flyers to banners to saddles to fascinating photographs to commemorative mugs... I could spend hours in there! Pat and I are both a little obsessed with old cowboy/western stuff from the 1930s through '60s, so we love this little museum. I probably took too many pictures but I couldn't stop myself. Enjoy!
I'm not necessarily a big fan of John Wayne but I have to admit he's right.
This is Jim Cook and the Colorado State Fair Museum is his baby. He admits to being completely obsessed with collecting, and he will happily talk your ear off about everything in the museum. And you should definitely chat with him, because he has many, many great stories. He's a treasure!
A few tantalizing factoids compiled by Mr. Cook. Fascinating!

Quite an eclectic looking place! Who'd have thought I could ever agree with John Wayne on anything?
