SUCCESSFUL FAIR
AT WILLOW RIVER

The Fourth Annual Community Fair
held Saturday, Sept. Is, at the public
school building, Willow River, was
well attended. All communities of
northern Pine county were represent
ed and the exhibits were better than
ever, regardless of the wet weather
the past month.
There was little disappointment
to those who came to see the parade
as it was not put on as scheduled.
Fourteen little girls appeared in the
doll buggy parade, all dressed for
the occasion, and looked very pretty.
Little Edith Boxell, dressed as a
Red Cross nurse with a doll and
buggy decorated accordingly, was
awarded first prize and Geraldine
Lundgren, dressed as pink rose, was
awarded second prize.
The baby contest was hard to de-
eide as all babies were eligible for
first prize. Mrs. Earl Keller's baby
IA months old, was awarded first
prize and Mrs. Royal Woods months
old baby, was awarded second prize.
Judges for these contests were Mrs.
Richard Hart, Mrs. Dick Lewis, and
Mrs. Sweiger of Moose Lake.
Michael Hurley, attorney of Pine
City, was speaker for the occasion
and gave a very instructive and
scholarly address on community
building.
Prizes for exhibits on general farm
products were awarded by Judges
Dick Lewis of Moose Lake, and Lloyd
Richards of Sandstone. Willow Riv-
er was fortunate to have these men
come to the Community Fair and
do this work. They are well trained
and experienced along this line
The culinary, canned vegetables,
canned fruits and meats and fancy
work were judged by Mrs. Richard
Hart, a former state home economics
instructor of Moose Lake, and Miss
Florence Bosshart, domestic science
instructor of Sandstone. This is the
first visit these women have made
to our community to do work of this
kind and it is appreciated. Their
judging was very satisfactory. They
were pleasant to meet and they made
many friends.
The sports contests were enjoyed
by a large majority as was the dance
in the evening.
