Hint: Capital of corned beef Submitted by Michael Fielding on Fri, 08/22/2008 - 2:48pm.

Where else around here do neighbors order up to 300 pounds of corned beef around St. Partick's Day? At none other than County Fair, which opened in 1964 and is still family owned.

Welcome to the Southwest Observer's new feature - iWitnessed. Every week or so we'll post a close-up photo of local importance ranging from schools to churches to businesses to historical landmarks.

In return, we'll be asking our registered users to try to figure our just what the heck it is that they're looking at. At the end of each contest we will reveal the full photo along with a couple tidbits (just to let ya know that we're up on our neighborhood history as well as the next guy).

A hint will accompany each photo ... but don't think too hard about it. After all, the answer might be in your own backyard.

Nope. We recently launched our improved site, which has a ton of new features and content. With that relaunch, though, iWitnessed had to take a few days to focus on the overall site. Never fear, though - the next photo will be up tomorrow. Are you ready?

You cannot even imagine how helpful your article has been to me! I have read the book, suggested by a ebooks search engine, and felt completely confused. But thanks to your article I have finally understood everything. Thank you!!!
