LAFAYETTE COUNTY
FAIR JOINING STRONG
Are Being Put in Shape
and All Made Ready For the
4 Opening Day, Tuesday,
October 5. 1920.


from all indications the Lafayette
County Fair October, 5, 6, I, 8 will be
the biggest and best by far that was
ever held.
The officers of the Fair Association
with the Board of Directors are work
ing hard to make it surpass anything
eve attempted. Every town in the
county is cooperating also the differ
eit farm organizations, Breeders AS
sociation, etc. We have abandoned
the old plan heretofore used where ex-
hibitors are charged an entry fee and
then I asked to pay part Of the pre-
MUM back to the Fair Association.
In the new plan for this year there is
no entry fee for stock nor for exhibi-
tors. All we ask is that the exhibitor
have a season ticket. AS the manage
ment has been very liberal with pre-
miums offered may we ask that if you
have anything to exhibit bring it in
and compete. Is is Lafayette
County's fair and should be the in
terest Of every citizen in the county
TO make it the very best possible.
