Fair Board Pays
Its Bills, Plans
Improvements
With fair receipts still coming,
members of the board of direct
ors of the ninth annual Matan
uska Valley fair, listened to an
encouraging financial report last
Friday, and unanimously voted
to apporve payment of all out
standing bills. While still too
early to prepare a complete
financial statement, treasurer
Maud Hosier and fair manager
Charles Dillon both indicated
this year’s operation will show
some margin of profit.
Mrs. Hosier announced that
this year’s total premium list of
fair prizes added up to $1,320.
Suggestions for improvements
for next year’s tenth annual fair
included increased prizes for 4
H Club premiums, since young
people of the Valley are showing
a mounting interest in fair par
ticipation; donation of all single
cooking, canning and baking en
tries to the fair for sale to fair
visitors on the final evening;
construction of board fences and
grandstands on the fair grounds.
The board voted to proceed
with fencing of the grounds at
once, in the hope of receiving
some financial return from pos
sible athletic and recreational
events there.
The matter of rental of the
fair’s Quonset huts was discuss
ed. It finally was decided to
leave the question in the hands
of the grounds committee, head
ed by M. D Snodgrass.
The fair-sponsored Saturday
dances are to be continued on a
twice a month basis, it was de
cided.
It also was decided necessary
to keep the fair business office
open on a part-time basis
throughout the entire year. Of
fice quarters will be rented,
probably in the present location.
Viola Daniels was employed as
part-time secretary, to carry on
correspondence, complete files
and set up a permanent ofice.
