PLAN NOW FOR
COUNTY FAIR
FAIR ASSOCIATION DIRECTORS
HOPE FOR BIG SUCCESSFUL
FAIR THIS YEAR
PREMIUM LIST OUT SOON
Expect To Offer Special Attractions
for the Benefit of Farmers.

The directors of the Boundary cOun-
ty Fair Association, recently elected
held meeting Tuesday night and or
ganized and spent several hours plan
ming for the fair which will probably
be held on September 29 and 80 and
October l this year.
O. H. Campbell president OF the
! fair association, states that various
committees are working on the prem
| ium list for the 1921 fair and that il
1 is hoped to have this premium list
in the hands of the farmers and busi-
ness men of the county by the first
week in August. Liberal prizes will
be offered for the best exhibits of
fruits, stock, grain, vegetables, etc,
and for the best collective displays.
The association is badly in need of
money with which to pay for the con-
struction of a building in which ex-
hibits may be housed The directors
hope to sell at least $500 worth of
fair association stock within the next
few weeks and this money is to be
used in constructing a frame build
ing with dimensions of about "a by
ISS. 1t is believed that this building
will be large enough to house all ex-
hibits. George Irving. one of the fair
association directors, has been named
to superintend the sale of stock and
will visit people in all parts of the
county in the endeavor to secure their
cooperation in the success of the
county fair.
In spite of the fact that business is
dull and that money is tight the fair
directors believe that they will be able
90 fo1 haf mill 70
exceed all efforts of previous years.
Special efforts will be made to make
this fair Of greatest interest to the
farmers of all parts of the county
Grounds will be prepared in order
that the farmer and his family may
come and camp for the three days.
Plenty of amusement will be provided.
1t is expected that a good speaker Will
be secured for one day who will de-
liver an address especially for the
farmers. Then, too, it is planned to
allow the farmers to bring their pro-
duce to the fair grounds to sell and
no concession fee will be charged if
the farmer will construct his own
booth.
One of the features of the fair this
fall is to be a public auction, to be
held on the grounds and every farmer
will be invited to bring stock, farm
implements, household goods or any
thing that he wishes to dispose of to
the sale. At such a gathering, it is
likely that articles to be sold will find
a ready sale and that the sale will be
of benefit to all concerned.
A number of amusements are being
planned for the fair. OF course there
will be dancing and a good sized COW
cred pavilion is planned. 1t is quite
possible too that baseball tourna-
ment will be arranged, possibly be-
tween Bonners Ferry, Troy and Sand
point, for a purse large enough to
make things interesting. Walden's
Band will furnish music for the three
days and will begin rehearsing at once
in order that new programs may be
rendered.
President Campbell said Tuesday
to the Herald You may say for the
directors of the Boundary County Fair
Association that we intend to make
this fair a real success and that the
public will be given everything that
is advertised. We want to get the
farmers interested and we want to
create better feeling among the
farmers. This is a fair for the farm
ers and we intend to prepare attrac-
tions that will both educate them and
furnish them and their families amuse-
ment. We hope to make these annual
fairs so interesting that the Bound
ary county farmers will look forward
to them each year as the time when
they will lay off and take a three day
vacation"
