Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1908-04-02
Fair Association Meeting.

Saturday and delved deeply into
the necessities dependent upon
making the annual fair, to be
held next September, greater
success--if possible-than the
one pulled off last fall, and it is
confidently believed this will en-
sue, as work is to be commenced
at once and vigorously pursued
until the last race on the last day
of the fair.
The premium list was revised
item by item-and many changes
made, in each instance the prem
ium being increased, while sever
al new features were added with
good sized premiums attached.
The race program will be prac-
tically the same as last year,
only that several additional
events will be placed on the list
and more money placed in the
purses in an effort to attract
more and speedier horses than
competed last year, and if this
can be accomplished it will serve
to increase the crowd and more
fully please them.
The management will be on
the alert heuceforth for attrac-
tions that will amuse and intend
to spend considerable time and
some money in securing attrac-
tions that are in every way first
class and up to the minute.
