The Board of Directors of the Red
wood County Agricultural Society are
at present spending some busy days
and nights in preparing for the big
fair which will be held at the County
Fair Grounds from September % to
September 26, inclusive. Additional
stock in the society has been selling
well during the last week, indicating
that the interest in the fair is con-
stantly increasing and the manage
ment is confident that the large at
tendance and the stock taken by the
newly interested farmers of the coun-
ty will go far toward defraying the
expense to which the society is put
by the erection of the new stock pa
vilion, rest room and secretary's Of
flee which have long been needs of
the grounds.
These three new buildings are now
well under way and will be completed
by the opening date, week from next
Monday. The stock pavilion which is
seventy feet in diameter, is located
well in the fore ground of the grounds
and forms most attractive addition
This building with its raised Seats
it's thirty-five foot show ring and its
capacity for a thousand people will
serve the public most admirably both
as a place in which the fine stock of
the county may be exhibited and al
so as a sales ring for the use of stock
raisers.
The rest room forms an addition to
the main exhibit room as does also
the secretary's room. The rest room
is rapidly becoming well lighted
comfortable room, well equipped with
all the modern conVeniences and Will
prove of the greatest comfort to wom-
en- and children visiting the grounds.
The secretary's room will provide COM
Portable and private quarters where
the secretary and his assistants may
conduct the business of the fair with
ease and expediency
Contrary to a rumor which has
been started from goodness knows
what source, there has been no in
crease in the general admission price.
The only increase there has been is
in the price of the season ticket, the
additional price being the cost of adj
mission for the extra day of the fair.
There has also been a slight increase
in the price of grandstand admission
which is entirely justified as well as
necessary because of the increased
price of attractions, amusements, Ia
Dor required about the grounds and
In every other factor which goes to
make up a good fair. The manage
ment has found it necessary to make
these slight increases to cover the
actual increase in all costs and has
made the prices just as low as is COM
patible with the proposition to make
| the fair self supporting. The follow
ing is the schedule of prices:
