Summary
A group of men in "Cow Town" costumes for the County Fair in Hugo, Colorado, pose in front of businesses with signs reading "Lumber" and "Hugo Drug Store." Included are Henry Mathews, the Superintendent of Schools, Jack Keppy, and Judge Miles. The men wear misshapen hats, bandanas, and baggy clothing; a flag, a tattered umbrella, a trombone, and a trumpet are held.

Men in dark suits, ties, and hats look on behind, near a harnessed horse.
