ding is Desired.

According to plans now under way
the 45th annual Pine County Fair to
be held at Pine City Thursday, Friday
and Saturday, August IS, 10 and 20,
the event will be equal to the best
ever to be staged by the association.
Thursday will be entry day and cash
premiums amounting to Sits will be
given for exhibits in the various de-
partments.
Friday and Saturday will be two
big days of entertainment with pro-
grams in front of the grandstand both
afternoons and evenings. There will
be the usual midway attractions, with
plenty of entertainment for the little
folks, as the Hines Amusement Com
pany has been booked again this year
with the ferris wheel, carry-us-all
merry-go-round and glider. There
will be good program in front of the
grandstand, Notwithstanding the de-
preston, as the management is able
to book some excellent acts at lower
cost than former years.
Dance Both Nights.
There will be dance in the big
exhibit building both Friday and Sat-
urday evenings with nominal charge
for dancing. A wooden dance floor
will be laid over the present concrete
floor which will be thoroughly waxed
to provide a smooth dancing surface.
Dancing was tried on the concrete
floor last year, which was unsatis-
factory, so the management has de-
cided to lay a wooden floor to give
the dancing public first class place
to dance. The floor will be laid down
the center of the building, providing
floor space of some 500 square feet,
which will accommodate from $50 to
200 couples. The fancy work depart
ment will be placed in the school
building this year and there will be
no commercial displays in the exhibit
building. This will provide plenty of
space on the sides for exhibits that
have been placed in the center of
the building in former years.
A Couple Wanted.
The management of the fair would
like to have public wedding at the
county fair on Saturday evening, Au-
gust Goth. The wedding will be held
in front of the grandstand. The plat
form will be appropriately decorated
in flowers for the occasion and the
ceremony will be performed with all
the dignity and style attending
formal wedding.
The fair association will give a $25
cash present to the wedding couple
and merchants of Pine City will pre-
sent many beautiful presents to the
newlyweds.
Any couple who would care to be
married at the fair should see w. S.
McEachern, secretary, at Pine City
as soon as possible so that all ar
rangements can be made we'll in ad-
vance and all the presents gathered
up.
This will be the third wedding to
be staged at the Pine County fair in
recent years. In 1929, the wedding
couple was Everett Work and Thelma
Spicer of Sandstone and the cere-
mony was performed by the Rev.
Claude Spicer of Clearwater, uncle
of the bride. In 1880, Richard THE
man and Mabel Peil of Pine City were
united in marriage, the ceremony
being performed by the Rev. Carl
Steging, pastor of the Pine City Luth-
eran church.
Both these weddings, which were
formal, were very pretty affairs, with
the attendants, ring bearers, etc. The
platform was decorated with flowers
for the occasion and the wedding took
place under flood of lights, before
thousands of people who had turned
out to witness the happy event.
This will be one opportunity for
some couple to get the jump on "old
