Each County Fair 3-Pack highlights an individual U.S. state, with one memo book each in the colors of 1st, 2nd and 3rd place County Fair ribbons; blue, red and yellow. They’re printed on 100-lb. linen cover stock and all three feature metallic gold printing and 48 pages of graph paper with light blue/grey lines inside.
On the back covers you’ll find a bevy of meticulously-researched state facts and figures. For example, did you know that Mississippi was the birthplace of stickball, America’s oldest game? Or that Kansas has approximately 46,345,827 acres of farmland?
