The Community Fair held on last
Wednesday was thoroughly successful
in every way. A list of the prize
winners could not be obtained, the num-
Der being several hundred, and space
would not permit the publication there
of. But Grantsville and community
worked faithfully to make the affair a
success, and it was.
The judges in awarding prizes were
Miss Warren, of Cumberland, and Miss
Frances Gerber, of Oakland. in the
canned goods and art departments, and
Misses White and Taliafero, of College
Park. Md, in the live stock and farm
displays.
There were on exhibition "a head of
cattle, horses, IA sheep, pens of
poultry, pigs, 400 containers of canned
goods, 200 exhibits of vegetables, $50
exhibits of fruit, splendid display of
grasses and grains, and beautiful dis
play of art and fancy goods and an I'M
usually attractive exhibit of nature
studies and photographs by the Mt.
Nebo Studio, besides many other ex-
hibits.
The products from two prize winning
war gardens, those of Mrs. C. A. Ben
der and Miss Althea Engle, were par
ticularly attractive. In fact, every
thing on exhibition elected much praise
and admiration, and the different COM
mittees in charge, as we'll as all who
assisted, deserve unstinted praise for
their efforts in behalf of GrantsvIle's
first Fair. May each successive one
prove even better than the last. Music
was provided during the day and even
ing by the Livengood orchestra, of Elk
Lick, Pa.
