A REAL FAIR IN THE OPEN COUN,
TRY

Last winter during the Red Cross
drive the daily papers reported that
at little open country church in
Delaware county seventy-five Red
Cross members were secured one Sun
day evening. This church, known as
Buck Creek, is located five miles west
of Hopkinton. Many other unique
things could be told concerning Buck
Creek, the most striking of which is
the annual Buck Creek fair held each
year. in the beautiful park back Of the
church. This is Real Open Country
Fair with agricultural and household
exhibits, competition open to all the
world Although there are cash pre-
miums for prize winning exhibits and
cash prizes for all sports and athletic
events, no admission or entrance fees
are charged. The eats" furnished
by the women and young people are
the only thing that are not as free as
the air. and the pure sparkling ice
cold water which is furnished in law
ish abundance by the far-famed Buck
Creek spring. In the past thousands
Of people from far and near have help
ed to make this unique event one of
outstanding Importance for the. COM
munity. This year on the theory that
two negatives make a positive they
have chosen for their fair date one
easy to be remembered, Friday, the
18th of September.
