Redwood County is getting ready
IN fact she thought she was pretty
nearly ready last week for the big
gest county fair in her history, but
every day brings fresh influx in en-
tries and fresh demand for conces-
sion space so that the management is
working furiously to complete the fin
al arrangements necessary to make
Everybody happy and comfortable.
The housing of the splendid stock ex-
hibits and the placing of the conces-
sions are the biggest problems con-
fronting the board just now. Tues
day noon the president reported that
eighty-seven concessions had been
placed along the Pike, this being the
largest number ever placed.
Race entries closed Tuesday noon
be ready for circulation Friday. Fur
ther than that the list is large one
and that ten good races are billed, the
details of the racing program cannot
be given at this date.
The stock exhibit will without
doubt be the biggest attraction on the
grounds. The cattle exhibitors IN
clude breeders from several of the
surrounding counties as well as local
men, and the hog raisers who placed
big pens last year have made reser-
vations for bigger exhibits this year
The herds shown include such herds
as the Nafsinger, Fuller, Green and
Rams herds all Of which contain VIC
tors from the Minnesota fair and the
neighboring fairs.
Local merchants, implement deal
ers and automobile dealers are plann-
ing an interesting line which will
make machinery row popular. Red
wood Falls has, for it's size, an un-
usually large number of auto dealers
and their machines always form an
interesting and attractive display. I'M
plement dealers have planned extern
siye exhibits and there will be prac-
tical demonstrations given of all lines
of farm machinery, heating plants,
electric household appliances, etc.
In the main exhibit building prep
arations have been made for an un-
usually large exhibit. The south
wing has been fitted up with cases
for the increasing of the space and al
50 for the better showing and protec-
finn of the handiwork and cookery
disulay. The girls bread and canning
demonstrations will be given In this
building and promise to be interesting
space for farm club displays have
also been reserved here. The school
building is full of the various exhibits
which have been carefully arranged
by those in charge throughout the
, County. The work on this exhibit be-
gan last June.
Added to the exhibits is the splen-
did line of entertainment features OF
which a complete program is given ev-
ery afternoon and evening. The even
ing program includes big fireworks
display. Dancing will also be fea-
ture Of the program each afternoon
and evening.
The children's playground, in con-
nection with the Red Cross tent IS
one of the features of the fair which
the mothers are bound to appreciate.
Here children under ten years of age
NAV be left for any period, in the
charge of experienced persons, and
with plenty of playground equipment
For ~ their amusement. This will mean
greater safety and enjoyment for the
chi1dren and greater freedom for the
mothers. The Red Cross tent will
include an emergency hospital and
many other features attractive to all
interested in the present Red Cross
work
