retary Bermont of the Knox co. fair
board last week thought it busy
place, they should have seen that
same office on Monday. Only an Of
ficial as versed and experienced as
Secretary Bermont, and staff of COM
petent assistants could have kept or
der from becoming chaos with all the
conflicting elements of exhibitors,
race horse men, breeders, newspaper
men and others demanding hearing
on the eve of the opening of the Knox
county fair on Tuesday.
Between times Secretary Bermont
found time to tell The Banner that
the 1921 fair promises, if any assur-
ance is to be gained by a scrutiny or
the entry lists, to be the best and big
gest fair ever held in Knox county. or
course, this is said every year, but
there is no mistaking the evidence this
season. Where there were for the
1920 fair 10 and 12 entries in a de-
partment the entries this season are to
be found up around the 100 mark.
This increase of interest in the
county fair has been little short of
amazing even to veteran fair officials.
