Did Fairbury once have a minor-league team, probably in the 1920s? I think my grandfather signed with them one season.
Good afternoon! My grandma and grandpa Mowery lives in Fairbury. The reason why I am writing is because I have a poster done by Wanda Coady showing 13 historical Buildings. We are trying to downsize and I was wondering if you would be interested in it. I don’t see any place I can load the photos for you to see. But if you are interested I could get it mailed out to you.
