Eventless fair footage really, except for the last couple of minutes for the train collision. For the first third we see cows and horses on parade!! Big whoopeedoo. Then some horse races.. Zzzz Then some curious car shenanigans.. what was happening? Hmmm.. Finally, the train crashes, and its great to watch two steam trains colliding for the purpose of entertaining the crowds! Huzzah!!!
