Sank Centre will sent 60 or 70 au-
tomobiles to the Benton County Fair
at Sank Rapids on Stearns County
Day, judging by the report made by
Chairman Ben Schoenhoff at the,
meeting of the Agricultural Society
of Stearns County Monday evening.
The general sentiment seems to be
for one big outing boosting the
Stearns County Fair, and it is all in
favor of the trip above mentioned.
spending some time in St. Cloud and
other points, enroute.
All public and parochial school
children residing in Stearns County,.
under 16 years of age, will be admit
ted free to the Stearns County Fair.
on Tuesday, Sept. Fl. This plan was.
in vogue last year and it attracted a.
large number of youngsters from all
over the county. Of course, in most;
cases they brought their parents with
them.
Mrs. M. D. Aygarn was appointed
as superintendent of the school ex-
hibit, succeeding Mrs. Mel Billed who
has recently removed from Sank Gen.
tire to Minneapolis.
1t was decided to call off the pro-
posed contest between Stearns coun-
ty bands for cash prizes, and to en-,
ploy the Reorganized Sank Centre
Band to furnish music for the three
last days of the fair for the sum of
$3.50.
The wooden building used as black
smith shop, located on the corner of
Fourth and Oak streets, and owned
by the Independent School District IF
Sank Centre, must be removed to
make room for the children's play
grounds. The School board have vety
generously donated the building to the
fair Association. The structure will
be torn down at once and tie material
used in the erection of hog houses at
the fair grounds. The Fair Associa-
ton passed vote of thanks to the
School officers for their generosity in
the matter.
Bert Bonner was placed in charge
of the automobiles on the fair grounds
and was given authority to appoint
such assistants as he may need to
properly park the cars. There will be
no charge for autos entering the
grounds.
At the last meeting of the City
Council the City Hall, streets and al
legs were turned over to the Fair As
ISOLATION for concession purposes, and
for their kindly consideration the City
Dads were cordially thanked.
The meetings of the Fair Associa-
ton should be literally attended
They are held regularly every alter
nate Monday evening. The work for
this years show is we'll in hand but the
officers are entitled to the hearty CO.
operation and assistance Of every
shareholder and citizen.
The question of adequate free
amusements has been a serious one
for the officers. Last week they
booked DeRonda, the baloonist. After
going over the list of attractions Mon
day evening fear was expressed tat
the attractions booked, while high
class in every way, would not keep
the crowds undivided attention so it
was decided to have base ball on Wed.
nesday and Thursday afternoons.
Sank Centre and some other team will
play on Wednesday, and an effort will
be made to book a game with the St.
Cloud Elks and some other team for
Thursday.
