A LETTER Of APPRECIATION
Nov that the Matanuska Valley Fair AmaQGto*
atxons business has been completed for
the year, it is only fitting to express
the appreciation of the Fair Board and Man
agement for finc displays vhich vere
exhibited at the Fair this year.
The exhibits of clothing, art, noddlevork,
pastries and canned goods by the irosaen.in
the Schoolhouso basement, vere especially
goodi Needless to say a lot of painstak
ing thought and vork vent into the prepar
ation and exhibiting of these products.
The exhibits of flovers at the Fair build
ing vere excellent and shoved vide'varia-'
tion and good taste in arrangement. It has
great educational value in the possibili
ties presented for beautifying the yards
and lavns of the homes. Vegetables and
farm crop exhibits vere not as extensive
as could be vishod. The quality of exhi
bits vere excellent especial ly in the 4-H
department. These boys and girls'"are to
be commended for the time and effort taken
to make titeso exhibits.
The farm exhibits woto good but the!re
should bo more people entering exhibits
in this class and. also in the garden ex
hibit.
Especially do v:o wish to thank Mr. Frank
Betschart of Fairbanks for the loan of
his very excellent exhibit of farm crops.
His exhibit shows what can be done if any
one takes the time and effort to make the
quality selections for exhibit. Such an
exhibit would placo at the top in any fair
in the' States. This exhibit was not in
competition but was sent, dorm, after com
peting in the Tanana Valley .Fair, just as
a display to show ••■hat can be produced in
our neighboring agricultural community to
the north.
Thanks are also due Mr, George T7, Gasser,
Territorial Commissioner of Agriculture,
for the fine display of grains, wild fruits,
and other plants rhich rere exhibited in
dividually in gLass covered cases. Theso
exhibits were labelled so that they had
the'greatest educational value to the pub
lic. It has taken considerable tine and
thought to select, prepare, mount and la
bel those exhibits in permanent form.
The. Fair‘Management especially -wishes to
thank Mr, Betschart and Mr, Gasser for
their kindness in loaning these exhibits
and in taking the time and effort to ship
them to the Valley Fair,
Sincerely,
.... ^ The Fair 3oard and Management
