The Board of Managers of the
Kandiyohi County Fair Association
held an important meeting at the
Commercial Club rooms last Satur-
day afternoon. A premium list was
gone over and approved, and the to-
tai of the same will be not far from
81, 500.
A new departure this year will be
an extensive live stock department.
The horse department will be under
the management Of Peter M. Burns
Of Kandiyohi, one Of the board Of d.
rectors. Prizes will be given for draft
horses and driving horses. One feat
ure will be an exhibit Of gentlemen's
drivers. It is expected that this will
take place on some street near the
fair grounds. One of the points on
which the drivers are to be judged
will be the speed.
The cattle will be under the super
vision Of c. L. McNelly. Prizes are
offered for various breeds of beef
animals and also for dairy cattle.
The swine and sheep department will
be under the direction Of John Sven
son of St. Johns. Liberal prizes
have also been fixed for this depart
ment. The poultry department will
be under the direction of the Kandi-
yohi County Poultry Association.
The Horticultural department will be
in charge Of G. j. Bjornberg, who was
elected superintendent in place Of C.
C. Selvig, who could not serve. Pet
er Blonde was elected superintendent
of the flower show and will assist Mr.
Bjornberg in his department.. Mrs.
James Sanderson will again have
charge of the domestic department
and Mrs. NJ. T. Sandbo Of the fancy
work department.
Another new feature this year will
be the industrial competition between
all the schools in the county. 500
in prizes will be given.
| It was also decided to appropriate
1926 for prizes for the best township
exhibit. It is hoped that it will be
possible to interest the different
townships to make showing of THEN
resources at the county fair.
The entertainment part is not being
neglected. There will be an abun.
dance Of band music, some first class
vaudeville performances, fire works
etc. An attempt will be made to Sc.
cure some celebrity to make an ad.
dress each dav Of the fair.
| Wednesday, Sept. Is, will be thu
day on which the exhibits will be re.
ceived. On Thursday will be horse
and cattle day. In the morning the
cattle parade and judging will take
place. In the afternoon the horse
Judging will take place. Saturday
will likely be designated as industrial
day, when all the industrial exhibits
of the schools will be made a spe.
cial feature.
| The people Of Kandiyohi County
should now all rally to the support
Of the board Of managers to helE
make the first annual county fair thu
success that the progress made If
this county during the recent years
will justify. Let everybody boost
the project, talk in favor Of it, an6
do everything they can to push il
along. Let no croaker or knocke1
attack this project without silencin&
him. We all take great pride in ou1
county and it's resources and the
county fair is the place to show the
faith that is in US. Therefore boost
boost, boost! Anyone in the county
may become a member Of the county
agricultural society for this veal
| by payment Of fee of $500. This
will give him an annual season tick
ct which will admit himself and wife
or any two members Of his family
at any time. Every member of the
board Of managers can issue these
tickets. The best way at this time
to boost the county fair project is tc
see your nearest member Of the fail
board and enroll as member. Eve
ry progressive farmer of the county
should take pride in having his name
on this roll.
