INFORMATION ABOUT THE
MARION COUNTY FAIR
Grand Stand

Grand Stand
The fair management ! has been
busy for the past FIVE weeks making
repairs and getting the fair grounds
in condition for the coming fair. At
this writing the work is nearing COM
pletition, and everything will be in
good shape by the time the gates are
opened next Tuesday We would
especially call the attention of the
people to the fact that the grand
stand has been rebuilt and is abso-
lutely safe.
The educational department will be
in the building formerly occupied by
the fancy work. Community exhibits
will be in the industrial building un-
der the grand stand.s
Community Exhibit
Those communities who will COM
pete for the community exhibit prize
should so inform the secretary as soon
as possible. All entries for commu-
nifty exhibit must be placed together
in booths assigned to the several COM
munities exhibiting.
Each community will appoint some
one from their community to decor
ate, arrange and take full charge Of
their booth. This person will be re-
quired to produce affidavit that all ar.
ticles contained in the exhibit are
products of said community.
Units comprising community ex-
hibits cannot compete in individual
|classes. Neither will any individual
exhibit placed outside the community
booth be allowed to compete in COM
munity exhibit.

not be dismantled until Saturday

The fair premium list contains a
list of the committees throughout the
county who will be responsible for
community exhibits from the several
communities.
Owing to the fact that in most
cases the trustees of the schools were
| Especially busy men it was found
necessary to increase the committee
in each case. Wherever the trustees
find it impossible to serve the fail
board reserves the right to appoint
members of the committee in their
stead.
Owing to sickness some commune
ties have been unable to come in on
the community exhibits, but have
promised to help generously with the
general exhibit. We wish to urge the
necessity of every one doing all in
their power for the general exhibit
IS well as helping their community
to win the community prize.
| 1t has also been found necessary
| to group some of the smaller pre-
cincts with their larger neighbors in
order to help them in getting up their
exhibit. But where such groups are
formed each precinct must furnish its
part of the exhibit and will share in
| the prize.
Name and address of each exhib-
itor must appear on each exhibit.
| No article outside of decorations
may be bought.
| Each booth will be in charge of a
practical farmer, chosen from the
general committee of the commune
ties exhibiting, in order to give out
correct information in regard to pro-
ducts and localities.
| There will be no objection to put
ting anything that you may wish In
your booth but reward will be made
on agricultural products only. To
make this little palmer would say
that fancy work may be included, also
an animal or fowl, but these would
not add to your chance of winning.
