THE BIG FAIR
ON NEXT WEEK
EVERYTHING READY FOR REC
ORD-BREAKING FAIR, BE-
GINNING TUESDAY.

In conversation with r. ID. Hawks,
secretary of the Audubon county
fair this morning he said everything
is in readiness for the big fair which
| is to begin next Tuesday.
The entries in all departments are
well filled. The showing of live
stock and corn will be exceptionally
large this year. All necessary ar
rangements are being made to han
die the exhibits in the best possible
manner.
Aside from the exhibits of live
stock and farm products, there will
be a we'll filled floral hall, and the
usual exhibits from the business
men of the city The Midway will
be big drawing card this year, the
concession men seeking much more
space than last year.
The association will have a long
list of running horses this year. In
the harness races also the field of
horses is much larger than it has
been for ten years. This insures
good racing, and that is always a
big drawing card at a county fair.
The entry list shows ten entries
for the 2:1S pace on Wednesday,
and six entries for the 2:16 trot. Be-
sides these harness races will be the
running races and the special races.
Practically the SAM number of en-
tries are made in the 2:25 pace and
the 2:24 trot for Thursday, while
the list is only a little smaller for
the 2:1S pace and the 2:12 trot on
Friday. On each of the days there
will be running races and special
county races. All lovers of good
horse racing will get their fill this
year. 1t comes from good author
| ity that the horses entered here are
the best on the track.
The free attractions this year are
something out or the ordinary.
There will be a world of entertain
ment for all who attend the big fair
next week. The horseshoe pitching
contest will take place in the morn
| ing and from what we hear, there is
going to be mighty interesting
contest.
The big feature or the fair is the
night show which comes Wednes-
day and Thursday nights. The pro-
gram starts at 1880, with the open
air band concert. This is followed
by long list of free attractions
Then at nine o'clock Will Harris
Beauty Parade of 1921 will come in
a full program. This attraction is
entirely new and proves to be ire
mendous drawing card. This is a
production that could not be shown
in a small town were ii not for the
large attendance at the fair. 1t is
costing the association a large sum
of money to put on this show, but
the officers of the association felt
that the people of Audubon county
were entitled to something out OF
the ordinary. No fair association in
this part of the state has attempted
to give such a strong program.
! We cannot urge too strongly tbs
attendance of the people of the coun.
ty at the fair this year. 1t belongs
to the people and it is the people
who make IL success or failure
The officers have done everything
in their power to make it a big at
traction and we have confidence
enough in the people of the COM
munity to believe they will give the
fair the attendance and support it SO
richly deserves.
Let's all take few days off next
week and make the Audubon coun-
ty fair the greatest success in the
history of the association,
