Interest all over the Eastern Shore
is now centered on the Pocomoke
Fair, which is scheduled for Tuesday,
Wednesday, Thursday and Friday of
next week; and which, it is believed,
will be visited by record breaking
rowds.
The management of the Fair Asso-
citation has made gigantic efforts to
have this years fair, the twenty-third
Of the yearly series, the best ever, and
there is every indication their efforts
will not be in vain.
AS was stated in the last issue of
the Democrat, arrangements have
been completed which will bring to
Pocomoke City a greater number of
outdoor vaudeville attractions than
nave been seen at the fair in previous
years; they are:
"The Flying Melzers," a troupe of
six people, who do a casting and fly
ing act. They also do platform act
in which they display pyramid build
ing work.
The Letna Sisters will do a novel;
ty aerialist act, and at night it is put
on with beautiful lighting effects.
The Great Siegfried, using a slide
It's feet in length and IS feet at the
peak of the incline will furnish thrill
in his ski jumping act.
Last but not least, come Josh and
Tidy, who want to meet all their
friends at the fair.
The fireworks program at night
will be the largest and best ever stag
ed on the Eastern Shore, there being
thirty-five events each evening.
This year the grounds will be open
Saturday evening and special pro-
gram of fireworks and vaudeville will
be presented. Gates will be opened
at P. M.
The best known horses on the Shore
will compete for purses in the har-
ness races the first three days, there
also being open running races and
pony running races as well. On Fri
day, the automobile speed kings Of
the peninsula will have a full day of
speed tests. The entries for all these
races will be found on page two.
There will be the usual exhibits
with handsome prizes awarded to the
winning entrants. The Farm Bureau
and Boys and Girls Clubs will stage
exhibitions, as will various other busi-
ness institutions.
Wednesday and Thursday, of
course, will be the big days, but with
the added attractions on Tuesday and
Friday, these days should be larger
than heretofore.
The midway needs no boost; suffice
to say it will be Frank Vests Bright
Light Shows which will furnish the
carnival attractions, they being here
last year. Arrangements have been
made for the accommodation of the
greatest crowd that has ever visited
the fair, and should the weather con-
ditions be favorable this year should
be a record breaker from the patron
age standpoint.
The majority of merchants of Po-
comoke are now running reduction
sales and special bargain induce
ments, showing their anxiety to well
come and cater to the wishes of visit
ors. In fact, the whole city will be
prepared to entertain and welcome as
many visitors as can possibly come.
Let everybody do his or her share to
impress visitors with the progressive
ness of the city and with the hospital
ity of it's people, and, at the same
time, BOOST FOR THE FAIR--Po-
li,moke's greatest amusement asset.
