INFORMATION FOR EXHIBITORS

FOR EXHIBITORS
AS the time for the fair draws
near we are reminded of several
things we desire to make plain to
those who have exhibits to enter or
who expect to attend the fair.
First, every exhibitor has right
to season ticket for 81, but is not
compelled to buy an exhibitors season
ticket in order to make an entry. If
you have something to exhibit but
find it impossible to attend the fair,
send your exhibits just the same, for
you do not have to have ticket in
order to make an entry.
Entering exhibits is usually a try
ing ordeal to the exhibitor and to
those entering. We have spent some
time planning system to eliminate
much of the delay and confusion, and
if the exhibitors will cooperate with
US it will save them much time and
trouble. The only thing we ask of the
exhibitor is to sit down quietly in
your own home and make out your
entry blank. List things to be enter
ed under the column headed "descrip-
ton of article" using wording same
as premium list. Under department
number put the letter. of the depart
ment. Under class number, the num-
Der of the class and in the same col
umn the list number. If you should
not have entry blank or premium list,
please send for same, or call at the
Office and be supplied. IF every ex-
hibitor will comply with this request
it will save waiting and inconven-
fence, and leave more time for enjoy
ment.
We will begin taking entries on
Friday the 18th, and all exhibits must
be in before p. m. Monday the 22nd.
The first day is the big day of the
fair and all exhibits must be in place
and ready for inspection.
If you expect to buy exhibitors or
season tickets, do so before going to
the fair grounds and save yourself
much delay and Inconvenience. Tick
cts will be on sale at Gerig's Drug
Store and the Court Pharmacy.
Those wishing privilege space at
the grounds should take the matter
up with Mrs. Tweedy, at once as the
space is going rapidly.
Under the head of "Corn Selecting
Contest" the premium list calls for "a
ears. As this is not in accord with
the agricultural plan we have decided
to change this to ten ears. So those
bringing corn for this contest need
bring only ten ears.
Be very careful in sending ship
ments by express to divide same if
there is any chance that your ship
ment might weigh more than fifty
pounds, as the association cannot ac-
cept shipments over the weight with
out paying for same the full amount,
and this it cannot do. All shipments
sent over weight will be returned at
once to owners at their expense.
Remember, you can send anything
under fifty pounds free both ways if
you will secure the proper shipping
tags, which we will be glad to mail
you on request. In citrus fruits you
can send anything up to 80 pounds.
Everything else must come under the
fifty pound limit. You can send a
dozen shipments if you like weighing
under so pounds.
Everything is being done for the
comfort of the public insofar as
finances and careful, anxious thought
will permit.
There will be a check room and
public telephone in connection with
the rest room; also reception COM
mittee and information bureau. Doc
tors may register with the reception
committee when they come in giving
the length of time they will be on the
grounds and will be informed imme-
diately should they be called. Space
for the parking of the doctors cars
viii be arranged back of the rest
room, where they will be quickly at
tainable.
Parking space for autos not to be
occupied by the owners while on the
ground viii be provided and a mar
shall placed in charge of same Plenty
of space for hitching teams will also
be provided.
