Fair Promises
One Good Time
BIG COUNTY EVENT PLANNED
FOR SEPTEMBER 28TH TO OC-
TOBER End. DIRECTORS PLAN
MANY ATTRACTIONS.

Preparations for the Redwood Coun-
ty Fair are going rapidly forward un-
der the direction of the Board of Di-
rectors. The grounds are being i'm
proved in several different ways, the
race track is being put in its annual
pink of condition state, and many
reservations for quarters for the
large stock exhibit are already COM
ing in to Secretary w. A. Hauck. The
dates of the fair this year are Sep
tember 18th to October End, with
both day and evening shows.
lille it is too early to say just
how extensive the exhibits will be-,
the demand for premium lists has
been great and this indicates that the
number of people planning to exhibit
is larger than ever before. The Red
wood County Agricultural Society,
which sponsors the fair, is expending
more than seven Thousand dollars in
premiums and race purses, and with
thef liberal premiums paid, there is
small doubt that the exhibits will
be At least as plentiful in number and
as good in quality as in former years.
There have been few changes in
the superintendents for this year, Mrs.
E, E. Mosier takes the place Of Tom
Hoskin iSr., as superintendent OF
poultry and Mr.. Hoskin will work
with A. D. Smith as superintendent
of Farm Produce, taking the place
of i. j. Colberg who. asked to be re-
Heved. The place Of the late George
Whittet, Sr., as superintendent OF
Horticulture is to be filled by William
Parker.
The attractions for this year pro-
mise much good, clean and enjoyable
entertainment. The plan followed
last year of having complete change
of Free Attractions for The Thursday
and Friday shows will be carried out
again this year. In addition there will
be big fireworks display each eve
ming. This feature was discontinued
last year but at the request OF many
fair visitors, who stated they missed
the beauty of the fireworks from the
night shows, the Board OF Directors
decided to again give complete pyro-
technic programs. There will also be
plenty of band music furnished by
various bands of the County through
out the day and evening with music
for dancing in the new dance pavilion.
The pavilion, which is being erected
at cost of $4,000, has a hard maple
floor go by 140 feet and affords a
delightful place for dancing. Since
dances have been conducted by the
faiA management itself, with A. P.
Rams IN direct charge, there has been
no complaint of disorder or unseem-
ly conduct.
Races will, of course, be the big
gest amusement feature of the fair.
This program alone attracts thousands
of visitors to the Redwood County
Show each year. While it is too ear
ly to state how many horses or what
horses will be entered, correspondence
already received by A. d. McRae, Sd
perintendent of Speed, makes it evi-
dent that the races will at least equal
and possibly exceed those of former
years. Radio, the horse who PAGES by
radio control, will be special feature
of the race track program. This is
only one of the several interesting at
fractions provided for the, fair visitors.
Reservations for box seats and sea-
son grandstand seats are now being
made, and prospective visitors who
are interested in these reservations
are requested to consult soon with
C. A. Luscher, treasurer.
