PLEASANT VALLEY FAIR.
Community Fair a Success Beyond
Expectations


Expectations.
To the Editor of The News:
Pleasant Valleys first community
fair was a success beyond the ex
pectations of it's most sanguine pro-
moters. A concourse of people var
iously estimated at from one thous-
and to fifteen hundred attended dur
ing the course of the day, and moth
ing but praise was heard from all
the visitors. Many pronounced the
needle work and floral displays equal
if not superior to those seen at many
of the county fairs, and while the
farm products and live stock depart.
ments were not as full as they might
have been, we feel sure that il will
be a stimulus for larger and better
things for our community in the
future.
