The fair had many thrill shows over the years. Pictured above are a motorcycle and fire thrill show, and a car thrill show from the 1940s.
Fairgoers have recounted numerous stories of animals that have been part of the fair experience. Pictured here is the largest animal to be brought to the Bloomsburg Fair, peekaboo elephant.
Below are other pictures (from left to right) of the "girlie" shows, an areal view of the fairgrounds (1970), the rides at the fair, and an overview picture (mid 1800s), tents (1800s) and midget car races (1950s).
