The Lynden tribune. [volume] (Lynden, Wash.) 1908-current, 1910-10-06

lnspite of a scant five hours OF sun
shine during the produce show day
it is estimated that fully 1000 peopl
viewed the Nooksack Valley display
Lynden Friday and Saturday.
The show was a success.
BY many experts it was said tina

In horses, swine, sheep and poul-
try the exhibits were nearly as good
In vegetables and grains it was secon
to the display Of year ago, due
undoubtedly to the wet weather still
there was a wonderful showing.
Lynden had made great preparation
for a big fair it was great fair,
though not nearly so great as 1t wOul
have been had the weather been good.
And, it was only a starter for the big
fair Of next year.
In the center Of Front Street for
block in length rooted platform was
built for garden. field and manufactur-
ed exhibits. On Fourth street for n|
block were sheds for stock. Pens
for sheep and swine were on the pack
streets and alleys. Art and neediework
exhibits were shown in EdsOn's drug
store and some other exhibits OF nec-
essity, owing to the weather, were
housed in buildings.
A regular program for Friday and
Saturday had been arranged, but
though in spite of weather many
exhibitors were on the street early Fr'
day morning, and the band early be-
gan making music, a perfect down.
pour soon drove everybody to shelter.
There was scarcely any let up until
noon Saturday. But in spite OF rain
exhibits came, and exhibits were piac-
ed for show. And, when the ram
finally stopped and the sun peeped ou
everything was in shape for the
crowds that seemed to have only been
waiting.
Some of the dairymen and othe'
stock exhibitors had brought theif
stock into Lynden Wednesday anu
Thursday.
Until Saturday afternoon no pro-
gram was possible. Even then lttie
attention could be paid to any regu-
lar order of procedure. There was
however. one grand stock parade, apo
/. o'clock. A long line OF driving
teams. stations, mares. colts an
cattle paraded through the streets
as pretty a showing as possibly
could have been expected.
There was the usual Lynden orde
