THE FAIR ASSOCIATION
Duly Organized and the Various
Committees Diligently at
Work Preparing for Ex-
hibition to be Held
Here the Third
Week in
Sept.

If any uncertainty exists that the
Fremont County Fair to be held here
next month will not be a success such
doubt will be dispelled by conversa-
tion with any one of the score OF ranch-
ers and business men who are promot-
ing the enterprise by every means
within their power. The interest they
are manifesting in the matter has
awakened public enthusiasm which
foreshadows a happy elimination of the
plans formulated at the general mass
meeting at the court house last month.
The executive committee has held
numerous sessions during the last ten
days and outlined plans for the fair
which the various sub-committees are
carrying into execution as rapidly as
circumstances will permit. Those in
charge of the financial end of the mat
ter have met with much encouragement
in the solicitation for money and as
surance is given that there will be no
lack of funds to provide the necessary
buildings and premiums for first
class fair along the lines indicated in
previous issues of the RECORD.
The movement has received the
official endorsement OF the Horticul-
tural Society, the Business Mems As
sociation and other commercial orga-
nizations ard the fruition of the .hopes
of those who are backing it can no
longer be regarded as a thing OF uncer-
tainty. The Canon City Driving Club
has merged its interests in those OF the
fair and the grounds it possessed
will become the property OF the Fre-
mont County Fair Association shortly
to be Incorporated as stock company
under the authority of the secretary OF
state.
At meeting OF the executive COM
inittee last Saturday D. w. Ross, Sec
retary of the association, was instructed
TO proceed with the Incorporation as
expeditiously as possible, and to this
end he is now devoting his energies.
At the same meeting J. w. Work was
employed as general superintendent to
look after the Thousand and one details
which the inauguration OF an enterprise
OF that Character entails. A superin-
tendency OF the xlhd undertaken oy
Dir. work is arduous IN the extreme
