Monday will also be all Stearns

grand stand. The Legionaires from
all over the county will march
from the city to the fair grounds
at 100 p. M, headed by the
Brooten Drum corps. There will al
| SO be clown bands from St. Cloud

The members of Robt. Swift Post
of this city will attempt the peri
lous trip to the fair grounds on
bikes. There will be special prizes
offered for the best stunts.
In this connection Robert Swift
Post is making strenuous effort
! to earn sufficient money to enter
tain the meeting of the Sixth Dis
trict American Legion and the Wo-
mans Auxiliary in 1928. This
years convention will be held at
Park Rapids Tuesday and Wednes-
day of next week. The Sank Gen.

vention to make a strenuous fight
to bring the 1928 convention to
this city.
There will also be harness horse
racing Monday afternoon. The fair
will be brought to a close in
blaze of glory Monday evening
with the most elaborate fireworks
display ever shown in Central Min
nesota. The Company furnishing
the fireworks will send man to
see that the large number of set
pieces are properly arranged and
fired.
There will be dances at the Sank
Centre Armory Saturday and Mon
| day evenings. The Armory can
accommodate large numbers and has
one of the best floors in the North
| west.
There seems to be some confus-
/, ion about the exhibits at this years
fair, because of its early date. You
can exhibit grains and seeds raised
in 1926.
The fair officers have worked
diligently and spent a large sum
/ to arrange a program which will
appeal to the public. The public
should appreciate their effort by
!; attending the fair in large num-
bers every day and evening.
