More than $S,o00.00 is the budget
of expense incurred to give the peo-
: pie the best fair ever. held in this
part OF Iowa. When it is remember
ed that this is about $4,000 , more
than has ever been taken in at our
county fair you will readily appreci-
ate the anxiety of the management
that everybody should realize that
this is a community enterprise and
that its success depends largely on
your presence. This is your fair in
a very large sense and it is up to the
good people of Winneshiek county
to take it upon themselves to help
make a good fair by not only bring
ing something to the fair but TO come
every day.
Next week Public Opinion will
have full page advertisement CIV
irg somewhat in detail the list of
free attractions and the rich and var
led program that has been provided
for your entertainment an dinstruc-
tiom. You will note particularly
that there is q distinct change OF
program every day and that if you
are to see it all you must be there
every day and every night.
The night fair is something new
for Decorah but we believe that it
will meet the approval of the people
and that it will be we'll patronized.
We are selling concessions for the
midway and have already secured
some very attractive features. The
Merry-go Round and the Human Silo
and the Bowery Dance will do big
business and there are other things
that will go TO make the Midway a
busy place at the Fair the third week
in August.
We want everybody to read the
advertising that will appear from
time to time AMI to realize that we
are giving you the biggest possible
value for your money. We want you
to have a premium list and If you
have been overlooked in the distri-
button just call up the secretary and
he will see that you are supplied.
