Final steps in recognizing the

court house in Heppner when dele
gates will be present from all sections
Of the county togive their advice and
encouragement to the move which is
hoped will result in giving US the big
gest and best county fair in Oregon.
1t has been proposed that an as
sociation be formed with a capital
stock Of s25. 900, the money to be raj
sed through the sale of stock. Sew
eral preliminary meetings have been
held and definite plan of procedure
has been pretty thoroughly worked
out by the Morrow County Farm Bu-
reau and the Heppner Commercial
club cooperating.
A committee has issued invitations
to all parts of the county, asking that
they send delegates to the Saturday
meeting and ready response is
looked forward to.
Following is the invitation extend
ed:
We the undersigned committee
hereby invite you as one of the out
standing citizens Of Morrow county
to attend Mass meeting in Heppner
at the Court house at 1880 p. m. Feb.
ruary 21, Saturday, to complete the
plans for big Morrow County Fair.
Proceedings to date.
la general discussion has been
carried on through the Farm Bureau
and Commercial Clubs to determine
the sentiment Of the people towards
a Fair and we feel that they want
Fair.
Pit seems to be the general idea
that this should be held at the Coun-
ty Seat and suitable grounds for same
have been found.
S-The County Court acting upon
the suggestions of the comittees has
agreed to sell soLe of the property
now used for Fair and County pur-
poses and purchase a tract of ground
north of Heppner for a Fair Ground
provided a reliable Fair Association
could be formed to carry on Fair.
4-Articles of Incorporation have
been forwarded to Salem to get the
matter started providing for a capital
stock of s25,0O00O.
Now: What kind of a fair do we
want, and how shall the funds be pro-
vided?
Shall Agriculture, Livestock, Horse
races, or Roundup features predom-
mate?
These questions must be answered.
1t has been said in the past that the
County Fair was Heppner Institu-
tion. Don't let this happen again.
Come and help make the final plans.
Who and how many directors do
you want? How many in your local
ity.
What are your ideas as to plans
and buildings?
We want you to feel that we wan,
a Big Fair II you do. one that will be
Big enough for a Big County like
Morrow.
We want you to help plan 1t and
to feel that you have had a part in it,
We have been proceeding upon the
idea that one-half of the money re-
quired should be raised from Hepp-
ner and the balance from the rest Of
the County.
What are your ideas? How would
you finance it?
How much money should We spend
this year to get started? We want
your opinion.
Come and bring your neighbor.
Remember the date February q.
