FAIR PLANS IN
RHYME
(Editor's Note: Though a bit late,
the following poem expresses the at
titude of valley residents so well that
we are publishing it.)
THE FAIR
They’re all coming down for the
big Fair
Tell you, my friends, beware!
Keep plenty of room
And we’ll give you a boom,
We’re all coming down to the Fair.
The young and the old will be
there,
So fix our places
And we’ll run in the races,
’Cause we’re all coming down to
the Fair.
All the old timers, the hard rock
miners,
Will come with their samples
rare,
So fix up a booth and work on *
their tooth, 1
’Cause we’re all coming down to
the Fair. *
The butcher, the baker, the moon- <
shine maker, g
Will all be there, but—
Keep him outside, ’cause we’ll need
the streets wide,
When we all get down to the Fair.
We’ll bring all the kids and cats
and dogs,
If you haven’t got seats, we’ll sit
on logs,
Then I tell you again—send the
band to the train,
’Cause we’ll all be coming down to
the Fair.

The Denali 4-H Club held a
meeting August 21 in the open at
the church circle. Genevieve Ring

gave reports on what their section
is doing and both sides are coming
along fine.

settler living just beyond Camp
