CANYON COUNTY FAIR WAS
GREATEST IN HISTORY OF
THE ASSOCIATION.


Everything was on Exhibition and
Everything was the Best OF its
Class-Fruit Displays were Mag
nifcent-Emmett Captures Precinct
Prize.
The farmers of Canyon county are
to be congratulated upon the magnih-
cent showing they made at the Can
you County fair this year. The ex-
hibits of all kinds and classes were
the best in the history of the asso-
citation and in the history of Canyon
county and Idaho. The attendance
was also the largest in the history OF
the fair. Taken altogether the fair OF
1910 makes a new record in agricul-
tural fair progress and development.
The officers and directors of the fair
association are to be commended up
on the energy, fores ght and ability
with which they prepared for and car
ried out this years fair. President
H. D. Andrews is entitled to particular
praise. He certainly accomplished
magnificent results all along the line.
As we understand it the directors
practically turned the making of this
fair over to Mr.. Andrews. He had
personal charge and supervision over
everything. He convinced everybody
that while he might do hundred 9th
er things right, he stands prominent
as promoter and maker of fairs. II
is no small trick to prepare for and
handle a fair. You must first arouse
interest among the farmers, fruit
growers and stockmen. You must
convince each and every one of them
that it is to his particular advantage
to come in with his exhibits. After
doing this you must persuade the gen
eral public that 1t too is interested
and should attend Then you must
take care of and properly handle the
exhibits and the crowds. In every
particular Mr.. Andrews was there
with the goods He is entitled to
unstinted praise and glory.
The products exhibited at the Can
yon County fair this year would at
tract attention in any land. The live
stock display was great; the exhibits
81 the field and garden were fine; the
fruit was magnificent and no mistake
about it. Nearly every precinct in
Canyon county was represented and
it was hard for the judges to justly
award the premiums. 1t is the gen
eral impression that the judges did
remarkably well. Emmett, Roswell
and Parma are entitled to special
ment on. While Emmett won the
precinct prize, her loyal boosters
knew that they had come to fair.
This makes all the greater glory for
Emmett. Payette had undoubtedly
heard of Emmett and was afraid to
stand against her. Parma and Ros-
well took chance and they made
Emmett uneasy for a minute or two.
AS usual Henry Dorman, w. A.
George, V. D. Hannah, the Polo or
chard, ]. w. Pittinger of Nampa,
and other of the old reliabIes were on
hand with fine displays. Adam Black
stocks herd was star attract on
among the live stock. Metcalf &
Nicholas were new corners and they.
captured all KINDS of premiums. There
were many others worthy of mention.
The fine arts department and wom-
ems display was unusually fine. The
babies also were present in abund-
ance and were feature hard to beat
The official list of awards is not
completed yet. The Tribune VIII pub
lish complete list of the awards and
premiums in our next issue. The Of
fcials of the fair are now preparing
the list. 1t takes time to get this
LIST complete as there were hundreds
OF entries to be Judged.
