Schleswig, Aug Arrangements
for the second annual harvest festival
to be held in Schleswig on Wednes-
day and Thursday, September 10th and
18th, are progressing nicely.
The most important work to be
done at this time falls upon the COM
mittee in charge Of free attra actions.
1t is very necessary to make careful
selections and get good clean enter
tainment for the people and yet come
within the money limit apportioned
the committee. Chairman Rohwer of
this committee acted in the same ca
pacity last year and we believe every
one was we'll pleased it'll the free at
FRACTIONS ngaged for the two days.
With Mr.. Rohwer as chairman and
John Bruggen and A. E. Schultz also
members of the committee, we may all
feel assured that the attractions on
September 10th and 18th will be the
very best obtainable for the money.
l. N. Vollersen, John Ehlers and c..
J. Claussen, the committee on pro-
duce, are working hard and will no
doubt have an exhibit that would DO
credit to many county fair exhibits.
In years past as we understand it.,
the produce exhibit in Schleswig has
been scattered all over town and did
not make the proper showing. This
year Mr.. Vollersen, chairman of the
committee, is making an effort to have
an exhibit hall and show all the pro-
duce together. The main objection
to each merchant showing the produce
at his place Of business for the prize
given by him, is that many are unable
to see all the products that are eXhib-
tied on that day, and very little note
is taken of the produce exhibit which
should be one of the most important
features OF the festival.
The music committee, consisting
of Peter c. Hollander, j. H. krohnke
and Aug Brasse, are in communities
ton with several excellent bands and
will engage the service of two of them
to furnish music for one of the big
gest annual events in Crawford coun-
ty. At the last meeting of the COM
mittees it was widely discussed by all
present whether or not we should
have two bands There was argument
for and against two bands, but when
it came to vote, the majority was
heavy in favor of two bands, and the
committee on music was instructed
to act according to the vote of the
club.
The decorating Of the town will be
we'll taken care of under the man
agemect of Hugo Wiegand, who has
chosen as his helpers, Herbert Bier
nan, M. A. Hollander, Otto Kusch
and Ernest Kusch. 1t is big job to
decorate the town and do it in a man
ner that will appear neat and attract
i've to all visitors, but we believe the
committee appointed on thisi work
will do an excellent job of it.
The concessions will be taken care
of under the management of August
Schultz, ST., Hugo Wiegand and DR..
Schultz. 1t is safe to say that this end
of the affair will be in a business like
way, with all those buying concessions
being entirely satisfied. 1t is figured
that the revenue derived from this
source of the festival VIII run up to a
nice figure.
been ordered by the advertising COM
mittee, G. l.. Kirkpatrick, J. J. Mich
olsen and G. H. Reinking. These are
expected any day when the committee
will look after their judicious distri-
button. Other advertising will be
looked after as the dates of the big
event Approach.
The auto parade in charge OF H. \.
Klotz, John Ehler and G. H. Reinkins.
will be the best ever seen in this coun-
ty While the prizes will not be large,
they will pay the auto owner we'll Tor
his trouble. The parade, which will
take place on the first day, will be one
of the big events of the celebration.
