County Fair
Approaches
Some of the Fine Attractions
Offered at CharlevOix
County Fair.

DO you realize that the CharlevoiX
County Fair is less than one month
away? Have you wondered what the
attractions at the fair would be this
year? You want to know? Well,
alright, here goes for part of it at least.
This years fair will be a musical fair.
We are going to give the people of
Northern Michigan good musical
treat. Every afternoon and evening
three good orchestras will play popular
and classical music. There will be an
orchestra in the grand stand, one in
the band stand and one located in the
heart of the midway on specially con-
structed platform. One of these orches-
tras will be the New Metropole Orches-
ira of East Jordan. This organization
is well known throughout Northern
Michigan, it being the favored orches-
ira for all of the best dances in this
district. These boys are all Charlevoix
County boys, but they sure can make
your toes tingle with their dance music
At the fair they will have their full
orchestra OF six pieces. Fischer's
Orchestra of Kalamazoo is the second
one. Fischer's Orchestras have a
national reputation. We had one of
them at last years fair and it certainly
went with the crowd. Fischer says
that you don't have to dance to our
music, just get on and ride and when
he says that he has said it all. These
boys are real musicians. Their program
is varied and they play music to suit
the taste of everyone. just what
orchestra will be the third one isn't
definitely decided. The Association is
making an earnest effort to get the
Philippine String Band. This organi-
zation was brought over to this country
for the San Francisco Exposition and
has been playing in the United States
ever since. II we succeed in getting
them we can assure our patrons that
they will hear good music that is diff
brent and which will be more than
Satisfying. If we do not get the Philip
pino String Band we will have an
orchestra of equal merit and probably
something along this same line.
Each evening of the fair from ZOO to
500 there will be musical program at
the fair grounds by the three orches-
tras followed by dancing both in the
Educational Building at the Fair
grounds and in the Armory down town.
Announcement will be made later as
to just what orchestras will play at the
two dance halls. We have hired these
orchestras for day and evening and we
intend to use them all the time and to
fill you brim full of music. So much
for this one feature. OF course we
have secured free attractions and we
are going TO have the best series of
ball game ever played and horse races
every day of the fair and there will be
an seroplane buzzing around all day
long with the prospects of daily para
chute jump from it and the exhibition
buildings will be filled with exhibits
and there will be speaking and educa-
tional programs in various parts of the
grounds and the crowds will be there
and the hot-dog-man and the merry-go-
round and now and then tent show
ivand the man with the balloons, banners
and confetti, and everything like that.
But we haven't space enough to tell
you all about il this week. Next week
we will tell you about the free attrac-
tions. Just remember that this fair is
held the 18th to 18th of September al
East Jordan, and that you want to be
there and that you are going to be
there.
