Lead Summary
ALGONA—The free fair barbecue which took place this last Wednesday has been a tradition at the Kossuth County Fair for more than 70 years. Vicky Mallory, director of the Algona Area Chamber of Commerce, was recruited by Howard Omdahl 25 years ago to help coordinate the event but points out that it is not sponsored by the Chamber. The barbecue is sponsored by businesses from every community in Kossuth County.
