G. K. Feyma, president of the Sand
stone Community Club-the sponsorer
of the event-and general chairman
of the fair committee commented on
the outlook for very successful fair
in the following statement to the
Askov Americans: Gin the past the
Askov and the Sandstone Fairs have
been highly successful. With these
two progressive communities cooper
ating very closely on one great fair
The 1926 Sandstone-AskovC Community
FART is bound to be grand sue
cess, to prove of much educational
value, to furnish fine recreation, and
lastly but of greatest worth to bind
Sandstone and Askov more closely to-
gether. Both the Askov and Sand
stone committees have worked hard
and long in order to make the event
a success. I sincerely hope that all
who attend may enjoy it as much as
it gives Sandstone pleasure to be
hosts to Askov, the Pine county boys
and girls calf clubs and the Pine
county canning club.

the fair festivities. e. M. Deming,

very large number of entries in all
of the departments and set aside
ample space, in the Sandstone high
school where the fair proper is to
be held, for all of the exhibits. The
superintendent of the various depart
ments have made preparations so that
the more exhibits each has the mer-
rier it will be.
