Valley Fair Re-Do

February 21, 1981, Neenah-Menasha Daily Northwestern

We haven't featured Valley Fair in quite a while and when we did, it was usually in regards to its heyday in the 1950s and 60s.   Today, we turn to when the mall was renovated in the early 80s, right before things got quite drastic with the development of the Fox River Mall that arrived in July of 1984.  Of course, we know the story of Valley Fair, of how it struggled for years afterwards.  It is quite hard to compete with what became the largest mall in Wisconsin.
