The 68th Clothesline Fair had 134 craft vendors this year, including 15-20 new vendors, along with some new food trucks. Several officials with the Clothesline Fair said it appeared the parade had a record crowd along the parade route and that Saturday's attendance on the fair grounds seemed to be a record for the first day of the fair.
