Valley frontiersman., 1950-08-25

:. After watching four annual Motonusko Valley Fairs come and go here we're almost ready to on- nounce that we're in favor of abandoning the Fair We just don't think thot Valley folk are getting enough real pleasure from the event to warrant the hard work and headaches that must be borne by few ot the local businessmen and farmers.
 Neither do we think Valley folks are ready for q Fair of any proportions here. They're simply not For minded and we see no evidence, on the basis of four years study, thot they're improving in this respect.
 We think there ought to be fun in Foir. We see
 Fair as something where can bring the best of our hone garden and farm products to compete against the best of our neighbours. And think there'd be q lot of fun in having exhibit judged best ot the lot We'd try just for the fun, and not for the money we might win-not that we wouldn't accept check for our best But we'd accept with gratitude and the feeling thot we'd had lot of fun in winning and the check was just so much whipped cream on our very nice dessert
 We think there ouoht to be confidence in the deIe- qotes we choose to plan our For and whote-heorted support of all their efforts to give the best Fair pos sbIe When the time comes to choose Fair board members in early spring, the job is so unoPPeolng that only the most CVC-nided Ot our Valley residents can be drafted for seats on the board.
 And in the spring we recognize the tact that 1t usually is only our most con0nunity-nnded citizens who will take Fair board job But by tol those tore most citizens seem to have shrunk in Valley estrnu- tion to membership in the ranks of professional shys ters and skin-qonne specialists whose objective is to fleece Valley folk of much cold cash possible.
 Yet the one ob ectVe ot the Fair board IS to plan the best possible show with funds ovoioble The reason for that show to attract visitors from all this section of Alaska to the Motonusko Valley in order thot may better advertise Valley and our farms and farm products Merchants admit thot past Fair boards have succeeded so we'll in bringing those visitors to the Motonusko Valley that the Fair weekend always is the biggest single weekend of the year.
 All Valley merchants and businesses benefit by the influx of Fair visitors. As George Arnoge told the Chamber Of Commerce recently The tourist (or vsitor dollar is rolling dollar. It rolls around to all of our doorsteps before it stops" That certainly is true of the Fair dollars which come to Palmer And the only individuals directly responsible for the inn portotion of those dollars members of the Fair board. The successfully their plans are carried through, the more dollars there are rolling through the Valley
 Yet today, the name of fair board directors are onoherno on too many tongues There are some who aren't satisfied with concession plans and oyouts. Others don't care for exhibit space allotted to them Still more object when the Fair board asks for per- centoge of returns from noney-moking Fair octWi-
