NEW FAIR ASSOCIATION
State Organization Succeeds the New
Castle County Concern

Castle County Concern
The New Castle County Fair sA-
sociation is no more, and in its
stead rose up at the shareholders
meeting of the association last
week, the Delaware State Fair AS
ISOLATION. This changes the fair
from a county to a State organiza-
tion, and it is thought that the
change will be of mutual advantage
to the State and the association.
To make this possible three amend
ments to the charter were author
ized at the meeting. One of these
was the change of name. The
second is to increase the capitaliza-
tion of the association from $50, 900
to $l00, 900. The third was that the
annual meeting of the association
shall be held OH the fourth Tuesday
in January of each year, instead of
the third Tuesday of the same
month. The change from a county
to a State organization is expected
to add to the interest in the fair
and also increase the entries to a
considerable extent.
