Audubon Republican. [volume] (Audubon, Iowa) 1894-1925, 1908-10-01
The Annual Fair


full fairs ever held in the county was
given and every body seemed well
satisfied with. the program and the
exhibit. The weather was hot, dry
and dusty but the management sprink.
led the street leading to the grounds
and the grounds and made 1t more
pleasant. "Wednesday brought in a
good crowd and Thursday was the
largest crowd ever onl the grounds
and Friday the crowd was very good
for the last day. The racing was
good and the evening entertainment
was very good, but not what was ex-
peCted, and the groundsl were cleo
trically lighted and were very attrac.
tive at night. There was not an ar.
rest during the entire week and the
crowd was a very ordially and peac.
able one. The management expelled
from the grounds the first day some
Objectionable characters and the
general public gave them credit
for their care and diligence in keep
ing the grounds tree from gam bling
grating and other Objectionable
characters.
The exhibit in all lines of stock
was the largest that it has ever been
and some of the very best individuals
in the state were exhibited. The
floral hall was a place of beauty and
was full to Overlooking. There was
also very large exhibit of farm
machinery and other merchandise
Space forbids giving individual write
ups but we give below list of all the
stock upon which premiums were
! awarded. We can not give,the list
in the floral hall as there were too
many.
We heard many compliments on
the excellent corn exhibit which was
certainly fine. Also, we should not
forget the most pleasing feature of
the entire week, the Extra band. Ext
IA certainly has one of the best bands
in western Iowa and a most excellent
| lot of boys in the band. They do not
| only furnish a very high class of mus.
| ic but they are not afraid to furnish
plenty of it. They received many
compliments upon their music and
| they were entitled to all the compli-
ments they received.
