Elaborate preparations for the West
Kenosha county fair are now under
loot. The fair is to be held Sept. 20,
Il and %. Last year it was two
day fair, and was not run during the
evening. Therer was great demand
on the part of the public for evening
sessions, and as a result the fair was
extended to include evenings as we'll.
After holding very successful COM
munity fair in the town of Salem, vii
lage of Wilmot, two years ago. the
towns of the western part of Kenosha
county put their shoulders to the
wheel and formed one of the most
active fair organizations in the state
OF Wisconsin at the present TIME.
! TheAarticles of the organization were
filed with the Secretary Of State and
also the register of deeds. AS a result
OF this, the territory was increased so
as to include the entire, county and
also the immediate county territory,
and the organization received special
recognition from the state.
The charter for the organization
provided that the association was to
De non-stock corporation, and the
lncorporators were George T. Dean of
Randall, Prof. R. s.. lhlenfe1dt of viii
mot, Roy 7. Button of Silverlake, and
VIM. Duke of Wheatland At the an

ed above, received special recognition
and was Immediately classified as one
OF the county fairs of the state. The
state aid which was received last year
amounted to 80 per cent of the pre-
MUM money and totaled $3.50.
