Richland County
Fair Opening
Set For Aug. 80

AN oObA il1iQd 1klCllldllJ
County fair and rodeo will oper
on Thursday, August 80. Recent
rains have frightened the pros
poets for an excellent agricultural
exposition. County Agent Dean
Davidson advises that this years
All program will be the largest
ever seen at the Richland county
fair. Jim Norden, supervisor OF
the FLA program, is of the opin-
ion that his FLA exhibits will be
more numerous and of better
quality than ever before.
Many of the community COM
mittees are busily engaged pre-
pairing back drops for their fair
booths and the competition for
best decorated booths will again
be extremely keen. The pioneer
and antique exhibit will bring
many new and interesting items
to the attention of fair patrons.
School and home economics ex-
hibits will be numerous and of
excellent quality. Businessmen
have indicated that many in-mo-
ton exhibits will be shown this
year and these will be of parti-
cular interest to old and young
alike. Inquiries received from live
stock exhibitors lead the man
agement to believe that the COM
petition for blue ribbon prem
iums and special awards will be
greater than in the past.
For many years Greenough-Orr
(66 Ranch Rodeo) furnished the
stock for some of the finest ro-
deos ever seer in the Northwest.
This year Fettig Bros, who pur-
chased much of the Greenough-
Orr string, will provide rodeo en-
tertainment, and spectators will
see the widest and finest buck
ing stock in the country. Top
riders from all over the west will
compete for RCA championship
points.

 Since the proving pig took a walk in the dark Wednesday and broke thru the routed boards that covered the opening of the shall low, dry well, Wyman figures he has toted 20 pounds of grain down ladder to the imprisoned hog.
 Wyman was waiting for a con- tractor with a crane and hoist to show up today.
