the businessmen of Sidney, Fair

displays the best ever.
Because of a last-minute break

this fine band drew the plaudits
of all visitors and patrons of the
fair. Don takes this opportunity
of thanking Band Director Orlan
Strom and every boy and girl
in the Sidney high school band
for their excellent renditions.
Director Al Burbank of the
Fairview high school band volun-
teered the services of his fine
organization if for any reason the
Sidney band was unable to play.
The third day parade and concert
by the Fairview high school band
was indeed excellent.
In a personal interview Don
had this to say, From a manage
ment standpoint the 1855 Rich
land County Fair and Rodeo was
IN outstanding success. Commu-

the finest agricultural show in
our history and, in the opinion
of outside visitors, the finest in
the State of Montana this year.

thanks to community committee
