The Best One Held i'm
the History Of the
Association

we reltefaGo Jne statement
made last week that the 1919 ey
hibition of the Mt. Vernon Fair
was the best one ever held on the
Mt Vernon Fair grounds. The
best crowds, the best floral hall
and the best show rings. At
first it seemed that the failure of
the shows, merry go-round or any
of the side attractions which
failed to arrive to make the mid
way would work a hardship, but
not so. The people realized the
situation and those who always
look forward to the midway at
fractions, found equal pleasurefn
viewing the splendid attractions
shown in front of the amphithea-
ter. Today the Mt Vernon Fair
has more real friends than ever
before.
