Fair Board
Signs Contracts
AT Great Falls

The 1856 Richland County Fair
and Rodeo will be held Thurs
day, Friday and Saturday, August
30, 81, and September l.
At the annual Fair convention
in Great Falls Fair Board mem
bers D. L. Howard, w. A. Tur-
ner, Werner King, j. NJ. Starr,
Harry Clark, and Fair Manager
Donald G. Nutter signed contracts
for carnival, rodeo, stage show
and sound system.
Harry Clark was appointed by
the county commissioners to sue
coed Mr.. Ralph Blair as a mem
Der of the Richland County Fair
Board. Mr.. Clark, a long time
resident of Sidney and the COM
munity, is very popular and
well-known throughout Eastern
Montana and all persons associat-
ed with the Fair know he will
join other board members in
making this the best agricultural
fair in the state. His appointment
was well received throughout the
entire community.
Mr.. Blair served as a member
of the Fair Board over a period
of t~wenty-one years during which
time he served as president of the
board for eleven years. All these
years of unselfiSh service to the
community has been and is
greatly appreciated by everyone
in Richland county and particu-
larly by the board members who
served with him. His decision to
retire, while a surprise to many,
was prompted by his personal
feeling that his twenty-one years
of service was a long term and
board members and secretary
manager Donald G.. Nutter could
not dissuade him from the course
he had elected to follow. The
county commissioners accepted
his notice of retirement with con-
siderable reluctance.
The following is a letter writ
ten to Mr.. Blair by Secretary
Manager Donald G.. Nutter, and
expresses the high esteem in
which Ralph was held by the
board members and community:

Mr.. Ralph Blair
lis = End Avenue S. w.
Dear Ralph:
On behalf of the Richland
County Fair Board and myself
I wish to express sincere thanks
and appreciation for your years
of service on the Richland Coun-
ty Fair Board.
In every community there are
those who serve unselfishly and
the best interests of the
people at heart. What they re-
ceive in the way of monetary
consideration is little or nothing.
Their compensation must surely
lie in the feeling of satisfaction
comes from accomplish
nent and a job well done. Ralph,
want you to know that we
place you in that group of men.
The members of the Board and
:, who have served with you,
NOW how much you have devot-
ID to the task of making the Rich
and County Fair the outstanding
agricultural show in the State of
Montana. We received news of !,
retirement with regret but {
ully appreciate that there comes s
time when a man would truly {
ike to retire. You can take that :
tep with the honest belief that
'ou gave your services unselfish- :
y to the people Of this commu- ;
Iity. l am sure that all of these :
join the Fair Board and \
1yself in wishing you the best I
f everything in the future. l
