As I read about the history of the Children's Fair, I realize I am wearing a t shirt that I bought at the Children's Fair with an image of the Barrett House many years ago. I never knew why it was called the Children's Fair until now. The bike gang picture is interesting. The Buckham sisters must have been more tolerant of high risks than their male counterparts. When I lived in NJ I made 4000 plus trips into Manhattan by bile across the George Washington bridge and on more than one occasion my pant cuff would catch in the sprocket. I can't imagine biking in a long dress!
