Exhibits, Program Up to Par;
Game and Fish Showing of
Special Interest
NEED BIG CROWD TODAY
Early Premium Winners An
nOunced in Many Depart
ments; All Sets Record

County fair officials have hopes
a successful year financially if good
weather encourages large crowd to
attend the fair today, Parker D.
Sanders, president, stated Wednes-
day at the close of the third day
which brought the best crowd of the
last two seasons.
The attendance Tuesday was dis
appointing as only third of the
grandstand and parking space was
filled in spite of the reduced admis-
sion prices which were expected to
swell the crowds. Wednesday the
weather improved and the attendance,
while not up to par, was decidedly
encouraging. Officials made rough
guesses at the gate gross and de-
clared a good day today would keep
the season out of the ''red."
Except for a smaller midway sec
ton, due to many fairs being held
this week and an effort to raise the
calibre of the entertainment, the fair
compares favorably with other years.
Exhibits in most departments were
normal or better and the All section
broke all records for attendance and
showings.
Of special interest is the Game and
Fish exhibit prepared by the Red
wood County Game Protective league.
Brilliant colored. birds and fish, both
alive and stuffed, fill the building. 50
Judging took place Tuesday and
scattered returns were available
Wednesday in all the departments ex-
cept the All where re-checking is
necessary because of the large en-
tries.
The Paxton Farmers club won the
Farmers club booth prize with an at
tractive booth in the main building.
