take charge of the preparations for
the Homecoming and County Fair,
which will completely fill the week
beginning Sunday, Sept 18th, and
promises to be the busiest and most
interesting seven days in the history
of Parowan, are working now energet-
ically, with the determination that
nothing that they can Go to add to
the enjoyment and success of the oc-
casion shall be left undone. A strong
program of amusements calculated to
fill up every available hour of the
time has been arranged, and there will
be committees to look after the COM
forts of the visitors, and see that there
are no dull waits.
In addition to the program as al
ready published in The Record, there
will be an open air band concert Sun
day evening, Sept. IL, an indoor con-
cert and recital Monday evening, Sept.
10, conducted by Professor George M.
Durham, assisted by Messers. L. L.
Eckles, Lawrence Adams and other
local talent. On Tuesday night local
talent, under the direction of Will L.
Adams, will present the play, "Alias
Jimmie Valentine" and on Wednes-
day, Thursday and Friday nights
there will be dances in both halls, so
that everyone will be assured of
good time, without being uncomfort-
ably crowded.
Work is being done constantly on
the race track for the county fair
races. An additional supply of water
has been piped to the enclosure to be
used in sprinkling the track, and two
men are employed to work it down
into first class condition. The seat
ing capacity of the grand stand is
being increased, as is also the accom-
modations for live stock exhibits, and
a lot of new fencing will be done.
A number of local horses are be-
ing trained, and it is learned that
good many will be here from outside
places.
Something like 600 individual in
vitations have been mailed out by the
invitation committee for the Home
coming, and on this page will be found
a general invitation to all former res
idents Of Parowan and all residents
of the Parowan stake to be present
and participate in the festivities.
The County Fair committee this
year has eliminated all entrance fees
for exhibits in all the various depart
me9ts, including live stock, and have
also abolished the admission charge
to the exhibition, so that any and all
persons may come and go at pleas
ure, viewing the exhibits as often as
they desire. The principal source of
revenue, therefore, must be horse
races and ball games, dances, etc.
The Committee states that the
Fair this year, from every viewpoint,
is going to be one of the biggest and
most successful ever held in the coun-
ty, and urges all people of the county
and state to join with right good will
and assist to make it such.

lated this week and are now for the
most part in the hands of the people.
