LOCAL FAIR
BIG SUCCESS
EVERY WAY
Special Features as Conceived
by President Denham Prove
a Great Help.


there was a great crowd present on
the last day. In the past the at
tendance dwindled to practically the
race followers on the Fridays of the
meetings.
President s. C. Denham. who directs
the destinies of the fair, hit upon
happy ideas when he arranged three
special days during the week. The
first. children.s day. brought hundreds
o little ones to the grounds and they
were well entertained by various meth
DDS which had pony given away as
the climax. Wednesday was farmers
day with experts from many. sections
to talk. This was most happy
thought and paying one, too, for
Wednesdays attendance was nearly
5000.
Governor Hatfield was the chief
feature Of Thursday, the big day Of
the fair, and despite the fact that It
always draw we'll, his appearance
was responsible for at least 5000 ad-
ditional people who came especially to
see and hear him.
Denham's Ideas Fine.
Mr.. Denham's conclusions that add
ed feature are becoming necessary to
instill interest in fairs was success
fully proved during the week and fu-
ture fairs will likely see more radical
changes than those Of this week.
Financially, the week was success
full, although 1t has not been given out
as to the actual attendance and the
money cleared The fact, however
stands out that while the fair was
uniform in its excellence it had no
extremely costly features and that the
attendance was uniformly larger than
in former years.
The week passed off without serious
accidents to mar the pleasures OF
these who attended. The affair OF
Tuesday, when little boy ran into a
lastly gong motorcycle, to secure
broken bone N his chest was the
worst accident of the meeting. The
news that he is recovering In most
satisfactory manner takes much Of
the s''oct'ro F>o4uros from this.
