Shooting the Clay County Courthouse

Spencer is the county seat of Clay County and this is their courthouse. Located off the main street commercial area, this interesting courthouse is a handsome structure. I don't know the name for the style but I like it; the box lined by columns on top of the main structure is fairly distinctive and a look I like.

Another thing that Spencer and Clay County are known for is their fair. Attracting over three hundred thousand visitors each year, it can claim to be the largest county fair in the Midwest. Wikipedia credits it as the second largest agricultural exposition in North America. As one of the 100 Places to go in Iowa, I'm expecting to see it sometime.
