Fair Board Decides To Build 7
Ft. Fence Across Fair Grounds
Action was taken at this week’s
fair board meeting that will foil
all kibitzers, come fair season on
Sept. 1, 2, 3 and 4 of this year.
Board members voted to begin
immediately the construction of
a seven-foot board fence across
the face of the fair grounds.
Board members expect to fi
nance the construction, at least in
part, through the sale of adver
tising to Valley merchants. Clair
Stock, board president, estimated
that the cost of advertising to the
merchant would be about $10,
plus the price of the sign. The
$10 fee would be paid to the Mat
anuska Valley Fair Association
as a rental on the fence space.
Page proofs of the 1950 pre
mium book were presented to
the board at the Tuesday meeting,
and were okayed by board mem
bers and manager Robert Crites.
The premium book is coming off
the press this week, and will be
ready for general distribution by
Aug. 1.
Routine problems of space allo
cation and concessions allotments
also were discussed at the Tues
day meeting. It was announced
that the Wasilla Library Associa
tion and the Ladies’ Aid of the
United Protestant Church, each
had requested a one-day conces
sion for serving dinners at the
fair. It was decided that the din
ing hall on the grounds would be
open for only three days—Sept.
2, 3 and 4.
President Stock announced that
other organizations wishing to
operate the dining hall should
make their application at once.
Manager Crites was asked to
present an outline of plans for
publicity for the fair, at next
week’s regular meeting. Board
members also requested that he
begin immediately to solicit ex
hibitors for the industrial dis
plays at the fair.
SHOP AT
TEELAND'S
They have milk and cheese
And butler, and peas.
And powder for fleas.
And a very nice
"May I help you, please?"
You can buy jam or jell.
Or a tinkling bell.
Or eggs in the shell.
And you'll always hear
"Hope you've been well!"
There are caps from pelts
And salve for welts.
And there're leather belts.
And a courteous
"Is there anything else?"
I've found corn in a can
And socks for a man.
As well as a new pie pan
And a smiling
"Nice to see you again."
You'll find a clothes rack.
Or some flour in a sack.
Or maybe a kid's gimcrack.
And in parting, a
"Please come back."
