Askov American., 1943-08-26
Festival Board
Completes List
Cash Prize Awards to
Be Given Exhibitors AS
In Past.

the various departments are this week
completing their plans and entry lists
Tor the exhibit displays at the Askov
Rutabaga Festival September 10 and
II. This will be the first wartime
festival for Askov, no fair being held
mere last year, and in view of the i'm
portance of field and garden products
IN the war effort the fair board is
placing special stress on them and on
the livestock display, as we'll as the
other items on which cash premiums
are to be paid.
Department Chairmen
K. L. Lund and S. Owe Hermansen
will be in charge of the grain and
garden displays, Mrs. V. Heininge,
the baked goods; Mrs. Arnold Soren-
sen, fancy work; Mrs. Fred Jorgen-
sen, flower display; Mrs. John Meier,
canned goods and Four-H exhibits.
A. P. Jensen and Chris Fredriksen
will be in charge of the livestock
show and the board has set aside the
sum of S35 for the livestock premi-
uns alone to make this division a
valuable one. AS in the past, all live
stock listed for exhibition will be
called for in the morning by truck
and taken home again in the even
ing.
More Rutabagas Wanted
One item of which there should be
more entries, according to board
members, is rutabagaS. after which the
Festival has been named. Exhibits of
this item in previous years have been
light but with bumper crops this year
and larger number of growers big
display of rutabagas is desired and
expected.
The exhibit chairmen warn all ex-
hibitors of the importance of enter
ing their products in the number and
manner listed in order to qualify
for prizes. One too many or an item
short in an otherwise fine display
will disqualify it from further con-
sideration by the judges. Anything
not listed will be appreciated for dis
play but will not be eligible for
prizes. Odd and unusual plants will
be especially welcome.
Cash Prizes
AS was the case last year cash
prizes will be paid for the first,
second and third place winners as an
added inducement for a larger and
better display so the committee feels
that it is not too early to make
preparations now for exhibiting at the
Festival. All vegetables, fruits, grains
and other field and garden products
will again be displayed in the D. B. S.
hall while the baked and canned
goods, fancy work and flower ex-
hibits will be housed in the high
school auditorium.
Bring Exhibits Early
Friday will be entry day for all
exhibits except livestock, flowers and
baked goods. All items must be in
by 9 o'clock the following day in order
that the committees have plenty of
time to get the booths arranged be-
fore the judging begins. An auction
sale will be held at o'clock in the
afternoon of the final day when all
unclaimed exhibits will be sold to
the highest bidder.
The list of the entries wanted in
the various departments is given be-
low.
