To the Board of Directors of the
Louisiana Delta Fair Association,
Inc,
Gentlemen
In making this my report, I congrat-
late you on the absolute success of
your first Fair. This success was
due In my opinion, first to the ability
and strenuous efforts of Mr.. Snyder,
who has done a great deal of hard
WORK on the arrangements and per-
fecting the organizations; second. to
the untiring efforts and hard work
OF Messrs. Vance and Watson, Gov
ernment Demonstrators in this sec
ton. -.
These gentlemen. have worked in
the interest of the Fair, from the time
OF the first movement towards same
and still have great deal of work to
DO at the State Fair, in connection
with the exhibit from this Fair. To
them Is due vote of thanks from
every citizen of the parishes of which
our Association is comprised, and Il
suggest that in an effort to show our
appreciation of this splendid work
done by Messrs. Vance and Watson,
this Board Of Directors of this Asso-
citation, pass suitable resolutions ex-
pressing our deep appreciation to
these gentlemen for the splendid
work done, copies of which, be sent
to Mr.. Snowdon, Chief State Demon
strator, and to the head Office of this
department.
l feel safe in saying that never
has a first attempt been crowned
with greater success than this, and to
my certain knowledge, plans are be-
Ing laid and strenuous efforts will be |
made by our citizens for a greater
Fair next time
From all sides. one hears express
sions of satisfaction over this first
effort, and discus sions Of what will |
be exhibited another year. Enthusi-
asm Is unbounded and it behooves |
this Board to prepare for Fair next |
year that will be second to none.
Proper movements by this Board |
toward these arrangements for fu-
ture Fairs are expected, and will have
great weight In maintaining the in
terest and enthusiasm of every one.
Respectfully submitted,
(Signed) j. v. WRIGHT,
President.
