1922 Stearns County Fair were all
set at largely attended meeting of
the business and professional men of
the town and farmers of the commun-
ity held at the Commercial Club
rooms Tuesday evening.
1t was voted to charge the exhib-
itors of live stock an admission fee
of $I.00 for each person for the three
days of the fair. Heretofore the
exhibitors have not been charged
any admission. There were num-
Der of breeders present at the meet
ing and the plan was perfectly sat
isfactory to them as they realize the
absolute necessity. of the association
obtaining all the revenue possible.
At the request of Secretary Du-
Bois the wages to be paid the help
necessary during the fair was set
tied. Clerks will receive $500 per
day, barn help $500 per day.
The men employed to look after the
parking of automobiles will be paid
$500 per day. u
For the first time in the history
of the fair it was voted to take out
rain insurance. This protection will
cost the association about $250.00
and in the event Of rainfall of lilo
of an inch or more on Thursday, Fri
day or Saturday between the hours
of 900 a. m. and 100 p. m. the in
surance company will make up the
balance of loss in gate receipts for
that particular day. The receipts
will be figured on the average re-
ceipts for the past three years on
that particular day of the fair.
Another matter of Importance de-
cided was that the various places of
business should be kept open on the
afternoons of fair week. Heretofore
it has been the policy to ask the bus
ineAA naen ta Gloss their places from
100 to 500 in the afternoon. 1t is
believed that the farmers attending
the fair, and the business houses will
be best served under the new plan.
Chas. Harrison, superintendent of
concessions reported that the outlook
for a large number of concessions
was very bright. Among the attrac-
tions already booked is a bird show,
formerly with the Hoffman shows, a
herd of shetland ponies, which will be
located at the fair grounds for the
kiddies to ride, tango swing, to be
located on the school play grounds,
corner of 4th and Oak street, and with
a strong probability of obtaining a
ferris wheel and a motordome. Of
course there will be the usual quota
of doll racks, juice joints and cham
and" -
Reports from the Wild West show
which will be the headliners of free
amusements at next weeks fair indi-
cate that the association have book
ed real attraction. This organiza-
tion appeared before over 1900 peo-
pie at Fergus Falls on the Fourth of
July and one of the gentlemen pres
ent at Tuesday evenings meeting
who witnessed their show says that
it is one Of unusual merit and full of
thrills. The organization is showing
this week at Winnipeg and will come
direct from Winnipeg to Sauk Cen
tre.
Those who have in former years
received passes to the fair for i'm
aginary services or obligations are
due for sad disappointment this
year. Aside from limited number
of passes to actual employees of the
fair no person will be admitted to the
grounds until he has purchased a
ticket.
Thursday will be Children's day at
the fair and all children Is years of
age or under will be admitted free.
The prices of admission will remain
the same as last year, so cents for
adults and 25 cents for children un-
der IL and 25 cents to grand stand.
There will be a charge of 35 cents
per day for parking autos inside of the
ground. For those who do not care
to have their autos in the enclosure,
ample free parking space has been
provided outside.
This years fair will be the best
fair from an agricultural and live
stock standpoint ever held by the as
sociation. This will be particularly
true in the live stock section. 1t is not
too late to make entries in any depart
ment of the fair and you may have
