RURAL-URBAN PICNIC. An event sponsored by the Dubuque Chamber of Commerce, the Rural-Urban indoor picnic was first held in November 1929. Hundreds of farmers from the surrounding counties attended the festivities held at Peter's Commons at the UNIVERSITY OF DUBUQUE. A repeat of the picnic was planned for the same time in 1930.
