The fourth annual Post Mills Fair,
held August 16, was marked success.
The weather was favorable and the
large crowd present early in the day
spoke plainly of the popularity of the
occasion. No effort was spared by
the committee to make everyone
have a good time. The show of
stock was good though not large, and
demonstrated to the farmers that it
was as easy to raise blooded stock as
it was to raise the common grades.
DIR. F Gle of Hanover, who exam
ined the babies in the "Child We'll
fare" tent, pronounced the nearly 40
he examined, "a very healthy bunch
The Floral Hall exhibit was good, the
athletic stunts were well patronized
and holly contested, and the Aero
plane did good business. The fact
that before the shower, that came in
the midst of the afternoon, the
people had consumed 65 gallons ice
cream, 125 lbs. frankforts, 100 dozen
rolls, 40 loaves of bread, with all the
usual trimmings, as well as drank 60
dozen bottles of soda and 80 gallons
of lemonade, shows that when it
comes to feeding a hungry crowd
Post Mills is certainly ON their job.
The pulling contests were very good,
both horses and oxen showing what
they could do while the Trap Shoot
ing gave everyone the opportunity to
demonstrate that they could shoot as
we'll as talk about it. The Band was
on their job and the ball game,
though wet, was very interesting, the
Chelsea team getting the greater
number of tales. The parade, with
which the fair opened, would have
done credit to much larger town
When in need of anything in this
line just see "John" about it.
