The writer attended the county fair,
held at Cortez last week, Friday after
noon. There was large crowd present
and the sports and produce display
were both very good. However, both
could have been made more interesting
with very little more work. A little
more time arranging the display and a
few more labels informing the stranger
were and to whom the display belonged
and what it was would have added
immensely to its attraction and interest
More promptness in staging the sport
attractions would have been apprecia-
ted by the audience. The fair was
good and the attendance was good, but
if every citizen of Montezuma county
realized that this is county fair and
not Cortez fair and done all that they
could to help the Fair Association make
this fair the best in the state, we would
see great Improvement especially in
the produce display.
