RAINY DAYS Will
NOT PREVENT FAIR
OLDEN DAYS RAIN WOULD PRE-
VENT VISITORS ATTENDING.
MINNEAPOLIS TO SEND DELE
GATES TO FAIR.

Providing it was a bright day and
the weather had been favorable for a
week or more the old fair of Redwood
county had good attendance. Not so
nowadays. The fair management
does not plan on closing down the
fair for one-half day on account of
rain. In fact there is apt to be just
as good a crowd on rainy day as a
hot bright one, for with the trunk
highways and state aid roads reach
ing from border to border of Redwood
county fifty mile jaunt to the coun-
ty fair is just short trip.
Rain might have been a handicap
in the old days but with most Of the
exhibits under cover a farmer would
prefer to take the fair in on a rainy
day and save the sunshiney day for
making hay.
The crowds in attendance at the
present day county fair is much more
representative of the whole county,
and besides the Redwood county peo-
pie are the farmers from other coun-
ties. The fair is getting to be more
and more of Homecoming for for
mer residents of the county who have
moved elsewhere. Many come one
hundred miles or more to visit the
old friends and see how their old
county compares with the county they
moved into.
The evening program is now fix
ed part of nearly every county fair
and so with the Redwood County fair
this year. Before the days of good
roads and machines, people who had
come more than six or eight miles
had to start back right after supper,
and it was difficult to get a crowd out
in the evening. Now those living
close by will go home and come back
after supper, and many will come
thirty or forty miles just for the
evening entertainment.
Secretary w. A. Hauck recently
received letter from the Minneapo-
lis Civic and Commerce to the effect
that that association was sending sew
eral delegates to attend the Redwood
County Fair this season. The object
of this trip by the Minneapolis visit
ors is to advertise Minneapolis and
express the good will of the city.
