ELECTED TO PAIR' BOARD
Approximately 25 members of the Fair
Association attended the Annual
meeting of the Association on Tues
day of this ’.'sole. ■Lome very import
ant matters of interest to the mem
bers and,people of the Valley were
discussed at this meeting. Four
new members were elected to the Boarc
as. follows: Clyde..V, King Sr. and
A1 Hagen were elected to serve three
year terms; Thomas Lepak was elected
to serve on a two-year term; and L.
*C. v-tock was elected to serve a one
year term. Members whose terms ex
pired were: J n I'oslosky, Paul Martin
Don Irwin and Maud Hosier.
One of the moat important matters up
for discussion was that of engaging"
a California Amusement Company to
bring in a Carnival for the Fair this
f£ll. This company would .bring in a
Merry-go-Round, a Ferris Wheel and
other amusement devices that most of
the members present thought would
add' a great deal of attraction to the
Fgir. However, there are several
ways of looking at this matter, and
those present studied the proposed
contract carefully, and suggested
changes which they thought should be
included in the contract in order to
give the Fair Association as much
protection as the company required
©n its part. After those suggestions
were carefully noted, those present
roted in favor of the engagement of
such, a company. The matter -of com
pleting the final arrangements and
drawing up a satisfactory contract
with the company ns left up to the
Board of Directors.
Another problem discussed was that
of obtaining more Agricultural■ dis
plays- for the Fair. • Suggestions were
made as,to methods of encouraging
more local farmers to exhibit more
of thejr products. Members stated.-'
that they knew visitors were disap
pointed in not seeing more agricul
tural products on display.
