PRELIMINARY WORK
ON INTER-MOUNTAIN
FAIR UNDER WAY

Activities in connection with early
preparations for the Inter- Mountain
fair, to be held here August 80 and
81 and September 1 and 2, are going
forward steadily, The Courier has
learned from Manager Walter l..
Mecklenburg.
Premium lists are being gotten into
shape, and advance copies of those
for two departments-arts and crafts
and floral-are being distributed.
The superintendents of several de-
partments are at work on prelimi-
nary arrangements for the displays
of which they will have charge.
Splendid support, Mr.. Mecklenburg
reports, is being given the fair by
Bozeman and Gallatin valley mer-
chants and some outsiders. It is
customary for this city's business
men to be generous in the donating
of premiums for the local fair, and
this year is proving no exception.
Financially the fair this year is in
fully as good Il not better, a situa.
tiOn than it was at the corresponding
time in 1926, notwithstanding that a
large building was erected on the
grounds last summer at a consider
able expense, and that unfavorable
weather last year cut down attend
ance and reduced the revenue.
