In 1919 Johnson requested a government thrift exhibit, and a military exhibit of German war relics was also arranged. Furnifold M. Simmons corresponded with Johnson in 1918 about exhibiting a government airplane and in 1919 about having the Navy Band perform. The fair was cancelled in 1918 due to the influenza epidemic. A letter from A. P. Foxhall to W. A. Hart and George Howard, officers of the Fair Association, responds to a charge that intoxicants and prostitutes were used at the convict camp which was located on the fairgrounds during the 1923 off-season. Balance sheets are included for 1920-1929 while some miscellaneous financial records note partial payrolls.
Photographs are of acts.
