A team of oxen yoked to an advertising wagon for the 1935 Indiana State Fair. The building in the background is the Administration Building. According to the Indiana Historical Society digital collection entry, the opposite side of the wagon says "Lum and Abner in person, Armature Contest, Coliseum Sat. Aug. 31 - 8 P.M.".
Lum and Abner was a radio comedy that aired from 1931 to 1954 created by Chester Lauck and Norris Goff and featured the exploits of the title characters in a small town based on Waters, Arkansas near where the authors grew up.

That is my great-grandfather, George Gregg, who was known throughout Central Indiana for his oxen, Buck and Berry.
Great to (virtually) meet you Brent and, in a way, your great-grandfather and his famous oxen! Any stories you'd like to share about your great-grandfather or Buck and Berry?
