VALLEY FAIR TO SEEK STATE FAIR TITLE

The MatanuSka Valley Fair Association will seek the addi- tion of State Fair to their incor- porated name, it was announced following a recent meeting of the associations board of directors.
 We believe that the Territory . of Alaska has grown in such pro- portions that it is now large enough; and the time is right, 10 hold State Fair once year" members stated.
 The Matanuska Valley Fair As saciation will sponsor its 18th annual Fair September 3, 4, and g. The Valley Fair is famous not only throughout the Territory, bur- familiar title to thousands of Stateside tourists and former Alaskan residents, who have vls- tied Valley Fairs. It is the lar gesH industrial and agricultural Far held in Alaska each year.
 Our Fair dates coincide with the harvest season, thereby offer ing farmers an opportunity to display their produce at it's best; we have permanent fairgrounds which are being enlarged and bettered each year. We have per- rnanent exposition buildings, and ample ground space for much more expansion, they pointed out.
 We feel that with the central Location of the Matanuska Val 1ey-wih every phase of trans portation except boats able to get in and out of the region we are in the best position to offer space and buildings for a State Fair. We hope that plans may be progressed, through the cooperation of other organiza- tione throughout Alaska, to spon- sOr the first State Fair in con- Junction with the 1856 Matan- aAnaka Valley Fair next Septem- her.~
 Fair board members aer nego- eimeing with national firms for various national contests which will be staged at next years Fair in Palmer. Board members, with but one or two exceptions, have many years experience be- hind them, having served on the board or in committees of past Valley Fairs. They know how to stage a Fair of such a large size and are willing to give the many, many hours of work that will be required to put it over
 Definite plans will be worked ows and presented to the AsSocia- tion membership at the annual meeting which will be held the first part of November.
