The Holt County sentinel., 1920-09-10
Our STREET Fair and Carnival A
Success,

SuNNtbss
The street fair is q thing Of the
past, except IN memory, anu judging
from the crowds ana interest SHOWN,
1t was great success. There were the
ferris wheel, merry-go- round, airplane,
and other attractions, among when we
should mention the Oregon Concert
Band, which rendered such excellent
transformation was so well appre-
ciated that doubtless Forest City will
organize home band, and why not
We have the talent just going to waste.
BY all means, let co. and have a
band second to none. Then, there were
the exhibits, which while small, were
a good indication Of what might have
been accomplished along that line II
il had been taken up in time and prop
erly worked out. We hope this has
laid the foundation Of future town
ship fairs in Forest City, and we trust
for Holt county townships generally,
for through such fairs, working to-
yether, Holt county could easily be-
come the banner county at our State
Fairs. All exhibitions were extra
good, a list Of which with prizes iol-
low.
Friday and Saturday were big days,
for in addition to otncr attractions,
there was speaking on FRIDAY By l.,
4. Gabbert, Democratic candidate for
Congress, AMI on saturday By Chas.
l.. raust, Republican candidate Tor
Congress, but the greatest attraction
for tnc time was the airplanc perform
ance, beginning FRIDAY evening. II
was estimated that a crowd Of at least
1000 persons assembled at that time,
many gathering on the railroad, but
many were down to the 1. r.. .5vatney
field, where the planes landed. After
many performances over the field, just
west OF town, such as leaping IRON
the plane at a high altitude, which was
done safely, looping the loop, and
other pleasing stunts, the planes re-
turned to the landing, after winch they
carried passengers at $1,000 per ioi
trip from the landing over tic town
and return.
