to Enter Booth in
Contest
BUSINESS DISPLAYS
ARE ATTRACTIONS
List of Prize Winners is
Given in Each of the
Departments

A very small list Of entries N
the agricultural and horticultural
departments was the outstanding
feature of the annual Kennewick
Valley Fair, which was staged
last Friday and Saturday. Other
features, however, more than made
up for the meagreness of the fruit
displays, and large crowd Of
visitors thronged the grounds af
ternoons and evenings.
Apathy on the part of the grow
ers and feeling Of disappoint !.
ment over the awarding of the
prizes last year were the princi-
pal causes for the small number.
of entries. Despite the changes in
the method of scoring this year,
the various districts and the
farmers could not be prevailed
upon to make entries, except in
few cases. The quality of the fruit
and vegetables that were entered
was high, and almost the entire
display was taken to Yakima to
compete in the state fair.
There was but one district dis
play, entered by the Finley Grange.
This booth had fine variety and
was tastefully arranged. It would
have been a strong contender for
first place had there been any
number of competitors.
The individual farm exhibits
were but few, too, but they were
fine displays. Arthur Carpenter,
Of the Garden Tracts, took first
prize with his fine arrangement Of
displays. j. F. Perry, also of the
Garden Tracts, took second money
in this division.
Fred Mills, of the River Road.
took first prize with his individual
fruit exhibit, and the American
Legion won first on best booth
The W.C.T.U. booth was the only
educational booth and it contained
notices and charts and literature
relative to their program.
The industrial booths and ths
automobile sections proved of in
terest to every visitor and were
features of this years show.
Of course the Ziegler carnival
company, with it's amusement de.
vices, rides, swings, games anc
shows was the main attraction
The lights, music and excitement
proved the life of the occasion.
The poultry show proved a pop
ular attraction and had a goos
list of entries. The women's de
partment, too, attracted much fav
orable comment with its fine dis
plays. Fl. .-...@
