Shenandoah herald. [volume] (Woodstock, Va.) 1865-1974, 1917-10-26
The County Fair.

Shenandoah had a County Fair. 1t
was at its heighth when the HERALD
went to press last week. 1t presented
the attractions which made Shenan
doah's Fairs famous years ago, anc
IL had many more, which the old Fairs
did not have. Although the work is
not yet finished, the grounds were
prepared in style which is pleasi ne
to all. The amphitheatre which af-
fords view of the races, the plat
form on which the bears danced, the
Igymnasts performed their wonderful
feats and the bicycle and unicycle
riders entertained the crowd, and the
landscape of fertile fields backed
by the beautiful mountains which al
this season OF the year resemble a
huge bouquet, tinted with yellow and
green, and red foliage. A person
would be we'll entertained If he would
spend an hour enjoying the beautiful
Landscape.
The races were fast aud some of
them wers holly contested.
| The stock or exhibition was of fine
I4uality. The ladies' department was
| pleasing and entertaining especially
to the ladies'.
The display of apples was really
wonderful and would convince any
one that no better fruit can be had in
this country than in the Valley of the
Shenandoah.
The Midway, with the Georgia min
strels, the little woman, the monkeys,
the trained dogs. the turtle woman,
the palmist, the New York cabaret.
the dancing women, the doll babies,
and the yelling men and women gave
evidence that it was really Fair.
Agricultural implements, automo.
biles, patent gates, and a number of
other articles of more or less value
we're on display.
Not the least attractive was the
School Department, where were dis
played scores of articles showing the
handiwork Of the pupils and corn,
potatoes and other vegetables raised
by the boys and girls.
1t was indeed an excellent Fair, re-
decting great credit upon the manage
ment.
The receipts were large and are re.
ported to have exceeded the expendi |
lures by about $1,000.
