’ DANIELS—In (he Lion’s Den
Welcome to our Fair, friends. We're happy to
have you with us on this, our tenth anniversary.
We invited you to wander through our buildings
and along our Midway, to inspect our displays and
exhibits. We've planned some demonstrations and
exhibitions of livestock for your enjoyment, and we've
scheduled some displays of new Army equipment that
we feel you will enjoy.
Our Fairgrounds are planned for your comfort and
convenience this year. Are you hungry, Then, you'll
be delighted to visit our dining room, located to the
rear of the Administration Building. Ready for fun?
Then wander along our Midway and participate in
some of the Carnival attractions we've planned for
you there. Feet hurt? The grandstand is a good place
to rest them, and you can watch a horse race at two
o'clock, or a donkey baseball game at four, while
you're resting.
There are restrooms for men and women in the
main administration building.
We've done everything we could to centralize our
Fair exhibits on the grounds but we will take you to
the Matanuska Valley Airport, at two o'clock on Sat
urday, for a special dedicatory service of the new
Palmer airstrip. And you must go from the Fair
grounds to the Gymnasium if you would dance with
a queen at any of the three Fair dances we've planned.
If you have questions, if you lose Junior, or mislay
your wallet, let us know at once at the main Fair office
in the Administration Building. We'll be there to
serve you in any way that we can.
We will appreciate it if all of our visitors will make
a special effort to sign the guestbook posted in the
entry way of the Administration Building. It's the
only way by which you can gain access to the flower
show, so you'll not find it hard to discover. For your
information, we will have an artist's drawing of the
Fairgrounds plot mounted near the Administration
Building. It will direct you to any building on the
Fairgrounds.
We would like to remind you of the special exhibit
prepared by the Matanuska Valley Sportsmen, set up
in th log cabin standing above and to the rear of the
poultryhouse. They've planned a display of wildlife
trophies and pelts, which we feel will be of interst to
all of our visitors. ""
In conclusion, we'd like to ask that you tell us how
you enjoy our Fair this year. We're sincerely interested
in planning the kind of Fair that you'd most like to
attend. We can do that only with your help. You
must tell us what you want to see, if we are to plan to
include it in our Fair another year. And of course
we're human enough to appreciate a word of apprecia
tion, too—if you like our Fair this year, tell us th&t,
also.
NO LOCAL RESIDENT
DRAWS BISON PERMIT
No Valley residents were among
the lucky 25 Alaskans who will
ae alllowed to shoot a bison this
fear. However several were
lamed on the alternate lists, and
nay be fortunate enough to get a
shot at one of the shaggy animals,
f a hunter on the preferred list
drops off.
Among the local residents
whose names were read as alter
nates at the Juneau drawing
were:
M. Buzby of Palmer, Ray Har
court of Wasilla and Francis
Johanson of Palmer.
There were 25 applicants for
the 25 bison permits issued this
year.
