GARRETT COUNTY FAIR
D CLOSED SATURDAY NIGHT
Attendance Was Not AS Large
AS Usual, But Exhibits
Were Superior


on account of the wholly unfit wealth
er of Tuesday, the first day of the
Fair when the grounds and roads
leading to it were sea of mud, max
ing travel almost impossible and SON.
ditions at the Fair grounds such as to
keep hundreds of people away.
Taken as whole the Fair was sue
cessful, and while the number of paid
admissions was much smaller than in
previous years, the exhibits in every
department were superior in quality
and in scope. Especially was this true
in the live stock department and in
the domestic science department.
Cooperation, however, on the part
of many who share directly in the
benefits to be derived from county
fair was lacking in many ways, but
in another year it is hoped that this
antaganistic spirit will be overcome
and the Fair become what it should
be-a great show of exhibits from
every section of the county wherein
all visitors may have ocular demon
stration of the possibilities of the ag-
ricultural and horticultural conditions
of Garrett county.
The ladies in charge OF the various
departments in the exhibition build
ing were untiring in their efforts to
show to advantage all the thousands
of articles placed there. The build
ing, in its every part, was artistically
decorated and the arrangement could
not have been improved upon.
One feature at the Fair was the
float used at the opening of the Sew
ern River bridge at Annapolis, repre-
senting the Deer Park Hotel and
Eagle Rock, the highest point in the
State, and which attracted much at
tention and was favorably commented
upon by all who saw it.
Down in the Midway the entertain
Ament afforded the visitors by the va
irious attractions was sufficient to
keep one amused for as much or as
little time as they desired to spend.
The American Legion Post of Oak
land worked hard and aided much in
providing amusement for the crowds
and at the same time garnered few
sheckles for their treasury and this
they were entitled to.
The awards were announced in the
live stock and agricultural depart
ments by competent judges as fol-
