The Fair Banquet tickets again proved to be among the “best values” in harness racing, as the 125 guests paying $50 per ticket won on average more than the purchase prices of the harness-related door prizes presented en masse, thanks to the courtesy and help of firms supporting Pennsylvania fair harness racing.
