The Kandiyohi County Fair for 1919
went down in history as the best one
ever held. For once, the weather man
gave US the fair shake. The total gate
receipts passed the best previous year,
1916, beat. by $4,000. Friday was
record breaker, and will go down as
red letter day in the history Of the
Fair. On that day there we're 1000
paid admissions, or $2.842 in gate re-
ceipts. Figuring all soldiers and
children under six, who were admitted
free, ground employees who entered
on season tickets, bought on the first
day. of Fair, it is conservative to esti-
mate the crowd at eight thousand.
The day that held the record before,
was Friday last year with $1580.35
gate receipts. This year the gate re-
ceipts were as follows, with a compari-
