📜🎡 THROWBACK THURSDAY | THE ALPHA CAFE

As we prepare for the 175th Auglaize County Fair, we’ve been digging through more than a century of Fair archives, and every so often we find a familiar name staring back at us from the pages.

For our first Throwback Thursday, we’re traveling all the way back to 1903 and the 40th Annual Auglaize County Fair, where we found this original advertisement for The Alpha Saloon and Restaurant, known today as the Alpha Cafe!

The advertisement offered everything from lunch and short-order meals to a pool and billiard hall described as “the most up-to-date in the city.” 😊

And there is even more history behind those doors.

The Alpha’s beautiful 24-foot, hand-carved white oak back bar dates to 1893, meaning it was already part of the Alpha’s story when this Fair advertisement was printed more than 120 years ago. Through generations, changing times and even a move across the street, pieces of that history have been preserved.

One of those generations included William Gutmann, who owned and worked at the Alpha Cafe from 1938 to 2004.

But our favorite part of discovering the Alpha in our 1903 Fair archives is realizing that its connection to the Auglaize County Fair never really disappeared.

Today, Alpha Cafe continues to support the Fair as a longtime sponsor of our Harness Racing Program. 🐎❤️

From an advertisement in our 40th Annual Fair Premium List to supporting us as we prepare for Fair number 175, that is a relationship spanning generations.

As we count down to our historic 175th celebration, we’ll be opening the archives and sharing more photographs, advertisements, programs and stories from the people and businesses that helped make the Auglaize County Fair what it is today.

Some Fair traditions are measured in years.

Others are measured in generations. ❤️

Thank you, Alpha Cafe, for being part of ours.

🎡 Now: 2027 | 175th Annual Fair
