FAIR BOARD PLANS
TO EXPAND SHOW


(Stake), purse, $1,000.
2:22 trot, purse, S4OO.
Pony race.
In connection with the races, 1t
is planned to build boxes in front of
the grandstand, low enough that
they will not interfere with spec
tators seated in the amphitheater.
They will have chairs in them and
will be rented to the same person
for all three days of the races.
Bleachers For Judging
To make the Junior Fair judg-
ing ring, the Marysville high school
football bleachers will be rented
and set up in the hollow just north
of the All club buildings. They will
form a natural ring and will pro-
vide parents and friends of the eX-
hibtors with seats from which they
can watch the judging.
In an effort TO create more in
terest in general livestock and
horticultural exhibits, and TO com
ply with a request of the State
Department of Agriculture that
more emphasis be placed on these
departments, all premiums have
been increased by approximately
third.
Since the Fair is primarily de-
signed to provide a cross section of
the county'S efforts, Mr.. Sanders
has conceived the idea of having
industrial products represented, as
well as agricultural pursuits. Ac-
cordingly, all manufacturers in the
county will be asked to prepare
exhibit of their products. This is
expected to be one of the most
interesting features of the Fair.
Sanders Excellent Choice
In selecting Mr.. Sanders as Mr..
TaylOr's successor, the Fair Board
could not have made a wiser choice.
He has long been interested in the
Fair, served as POSTMASTER at all
the Fair banquets held prior TO his
enlistment i'm the Coast Guard. He
well as in adjoining counties, and
will be able to operate the Fair
with complete harmony between
everyone.
Mr.. Taylor, who rendered his
resignation two weeks ago, togeth-
er with Carl Coleman, Paris town
ship director and A. V. Farley, Lib
erty township director, has pro-
missed the Board and Mr.. Sanders
he will assist in any way in stag
ing the Fair Mr. Taylor resigned
due to differences with the State
Department of Agriculture anc
not with the local board. He is as
anxious as. anyone else to see the
Fair succeed and will help all he
can, he has promised.
