Lorain County Fair Ad Mascot Giveaways

It's good to see that two of my favorite old-time advertising mascots still have a presence at the Lorain County Fair – both at the Lorain-Medina Rural Electric Cooperative, Inc. house.

The good folks there are giving away two nifty items. Above is a Willie Wiredhand sliding tile puzzle (remember those?), and below is a leak detection kit featuring Willing Water on the front. (The leak kits – which contain a colored tablet that you drop in your toilet's tank– have been given away at the Fair for years.)

Speaking of Willing Water, I recently noticed that he has a permanent presence on Route 6 at Shell Cove Park in Sheffield Lake (my town). He's featured on the educational kiosks there.
