COUNTY
FAIR FOR NAVAJO

The proposition of holding fair in Navajo county
has been and is still being discussed by the wdeawakes
Of this part of the county, That it would be the greatest
thing that ever happened for the agrcuturs stockman
and Others cannot be denied 1t would be the means of
inducing and encouraging every fellow to do his 'evel
best in trying to produce the best in his particular line
Nothing of this kind has ever been attempted in
Arzonas northern countless outside of Yavapa and the
first years event probably could not be as elaborate as
desired yet If the first proved success future ones
could branch out from time to time as the fair grew
Snowflake would be the ideal place for the holding of
such an entertainment being situated more in the center
of the county than sister towns and is almost RIGHT
in the heart of the agricultural fruit and livestock belt
We have the climate, good water and an abundance of
ground suitable for pulling off such an entertainment
At meeting Monday night of the local Farm Association
the matter discussed and all present heartily favored
the proposition
But this, however, will not be Snowflake fair It
is for all Navajo county, and simply mention Snow
flake as being the proper place of holding same if CEN
trail location cuts any figure in the matter
If the proposition goes through it has been sug-
gesed the fair be held the week before next years North
ern Arizona Fair at Prescott
Let's all pull and boost for Navajo county's fair!
