The news & observer. [volume] (Raleigh, N.C.) 1894-current, 1901-10-27
Now fer the Winston Fair!

Now fer the Winston Fair!
Or 10 call It hy its right name the For
syth County Fair.
Its going to be big thing, is this
Fair, for the men in charge of it are
alive to all the big possibilities.
You know Col G. z. Webb the General
Manager of the Fair Well, his heart is
set en- making the Forsyth County Fair
of 1901 the biggest, the greatest and the
best yet.
And he is stirrer when it comes to
stirring. That he means business at this
date you will find out if you talk to him
for few minutess If you've not got time
TO see him in person write, or wire and
he will tell you that 1.-The Fair is going
to be a hummer
There are going to be interesting
things piled up on one another, and the
racing is going to be one of these fea-
lures. And it will be racing, too, that
will be nerve jarring racing. There are
now at Piedmont Park a large number
of blooded animals which are being train
ed for speed events.
The entries are all right and the speed
is going to be ali right. The Forsyth
County Fair is in the North Carolina
circuit of fairs and all the fine animals
that have been doing speed tricks at
Greensboro Burlington and Raleigh will
be In when the bell taps for the start at
Piedmont Park.
Another great feature is going to be the
great free show that will take place every
day in front OF the Grand Stand and
which will last about two hours 1t will
be a show worth the price of admission
to the fair twice over and the people
who see it once will want to see it again.
1t is going to be a great show at a great
fair.
There's no mistake about this, and the
only mistake you will make will be a
mistake in keeping away from Winston
during Fair Week
The dates of this great event for For
syth county are Get. 30, 80, 81, Tuesday,
Wednesday and Thursday of this week,
and these days will be filled with sight
seeing amusement and jollity of all kind.
Following these comes the Good Roads
convention and Good Roads Demonstra-
tion, the first on Friday and Saturday,
November l and 2, while the latter takes
in the entire Fair week. 1t will be
great Good Roads event and Governor
Aycock will speak during the week.
The day time will not be the only happy
time in Winston. Not bit OF it. There
is going to be excitement and big time
every night in the city, after the great
events of the day on the fair grounds
First class entertainments will abound
On the streets you will see fantastic
parades, hear music and see fun and
frolic. In the theatre there will be first
class theatrical performances. and those
who dance will have the opportunity TO
indulge to the melody Of sweet music.
1t is going to be a great thing, is the
Forsyth county Fair and North Carolina
Poultry Show, and it is almost impossible
