KERRICK FAIR TO
BE OUTSTANDING
Committee Has Worked Long and
Hard to Make Thirteenth Annual
Event Bigger and Better.

Plans are about completed for the
thirteenth annual Kerrick commun-
ity fair and the exhibit will be held
in that village Saturday, Aug. 80.
Each succeeding year since the f. st the
committee in charge of arrangements
for the big day has striven to make
the fair outstanding and better than
the ones before it and this year has
been no exception. The slogan is,
Bigger and Better" 1t is not an
easy task to hold a fair and the quail
ity of fairs staged by the progressive
little community of Kerrick is a boon
to not only northern Pine county but
also to the county as a whole and this
section of the state. Besides much
work being required in advance there
is much work on that day in the
stands, on the grounds and in the ex-
hibit rooms and tremendous amount
to be done after the exhibit has passed
into history. 1t is the proud boast
of the committee that all work, with
out exception, be donated--nothing is
offered and nothing is asked. Each
and every one does his or her bit for
the sake of the community spirit and
there lies the secret to the Kerrick
fairs success.
A Surprise Program.
This year as in the past one or
two surprise numbers on the program
for the day are kept secret until the
time for their presentation and it is
expected that they will prove as in
teresting and entertaining as in the
past Speak of the Kerrick fair, al
most anywhere in Pine or Carlton
counties and you hear only compli-
ments and the spirit of the people is
appreciated and admired. Visitors
come from points both near and far in
making the event successful and the
committee again issues a cordial in
vitatiOn to attend this years fair Sat-
urday, Aug. 20.
Again the announcement comes that
surprise is in store for the public.
A few of the main events are adver-
tised such as. negro dodger, paddle
wheels, coin game, bingo and what
not, but hidden beneath the cloak of
secrecy is another attraction or two.
The committee assures that it will
be good.
Dance In Evening.
"The dance in the evening is to be
one that will keep you eager to stay
all night" are the words of the COM
mittee. Larry Hickman's colored Or
chestra of Minneapolis, has been Sc
cured for the occasion. This orchestra
is known well in this part of the state
and the announcement that this Or
ganization will play should interest
many.
The exhibits were good last year,
but this year they should be and are
looked to be bigger and better than
ever. Bring all the exhibits you have,
is the command, and make this fair
an outstanding one.
A number of business organizations
have already willingly contributed to
the support of the fair and the COM
mittee wishes to thank the following
for their generosity: Askov American;
S. A. Halverson of Halverson-Nelson
Co.; Jens Hyldahl; Kerrick State
Bank; Klein's Department Store; Pine
