Let's that meeting and elect the proper officers to fill the
vacant positions and carry this to grand Let's
get and not allow the to grow under our feet
This and parish full of progressive citizens and right
is the time to make the start
There are number of important matters that that
should be taken the of the most Importance is
to farmers that fair cannot be held without their
cooperation should be made at the beginning in prepar
ing exhibits for the fair this fall When you preparing
your soil for this years crop think about the fair and put few
touches looking toward greater degree of perfection
We have talked this matter with number of citizens
and the interest developing Caldwell in this project highly
couragng There will longer be doubt to the
full outcome to the formation of permanent organization if
meeting of the association held Immediately and the proper off,
appointed
Let them get work. The fair is business proposition and
evidence proves that where fairs have been established
W finds better farmers better farms and better live stock not
mention improvement other lines in community development
This the time for Caldwell parhs progressive citizens to get
together and take advantage of the open organization
work. The following taken from exchange shows the value
of such work community but how much more needfu are
these annual exhibits in an agricultural section like CALDWELL
where possibilities unlimited The article question is as
follows:
Every community ought to have annual festival pageant
other kind of celebration that shall manifest an attract
i've the sentiments and the spirit of its people, Some comml.
mites which taste and appreciation for music predominant
have annual musical festival In fact some communities have
attained almost national reputation musical purely
result of holding these annual festivals In communities where
historic events have anspred these may be the nucleus
around which build pageant that from year year can be
developed until the communtys most important celebration
In of the communities the traditions of the early SET
tiers and the myths and legends of the Indians have served as the
foundation for successful pageans any rate there hardly
community that has reasonable amount of ingenuity can
find substance from which make successful pageant"
What Caldwell needs first Of ALL and than ALL is sue
cesu fair When has been firmly established then to add
its araevene the add pageant of some sort
attraction but first of all build up fair that will at
tract widespread attention
