The Boone County Fair has been a
success from the date of its organiZa-
ton because its officers and direc-
tors have from the beginning been
aetuated by right motives. The idea
that a County Fair can be success
fully carried on for personal gain or
for the purpose of boosting some par
ticular scheme has long since passed
away. The original idea was that
bringing together the live stock and
all the agricultural products OF the
country in these exhibitions would aid
materially IN improving both the quail
ity and quantity of farm products and
give the people OF the whole county
an opportunity TO come together for
social enjoyment.
It has been the history Of these or
CARNATIONS that when they have stray
ed very far from these ideas, they
have gone TO pieces on the rocks OF
financial difficulty.
The Boone County Fair Associa-
ton has been fortunate in the selec-
ton OF its officers and directors. These
positions call for men OF good judg
ment. enterprise, patience and devo-
lion to the welfare Of the community.
That We have such men in Boone
