NOTES FROM YOUR
EXTENSION SERVICE
HOMEMAKERS FAIR BOOTHS
Surely all Homemaker Clubs
will want a club booth this year
These booths will be in Quonset
10. the same as last year, but the
prizes have increased greatly. On
the last page of the Fair Book
is a score card, this may help
you in the preparations for your
booth. To be of value, the con
tents as exhibited must tell a
story—something is learned. Each
booth is six feet wide, approxi
mately four feet deep, with a
backboard approximately four
feet high. There are two booths
without a platform. Let’s make
these booths a true representation
of what Homemakers clubs really
mean.
Since there will be things of
value in each booth, and no doubt
many visitors at our Fair will
have questions to ask of a Home-1
maker, at least one member (two;
members would be better) from
each of the following clubs are
asked to be in this quonset at the
hours given: :
Saturday: 10 a. m. to 2 p. m.— ,
Sourdough; 2 p. m. to 6 p. m.— ^
Wasilla; 6 p. m. to 10 p. m.—Gla- :
cier View. :
Sunday: 10 a. m. to 2 p. m. •
Cheechako; 2 p. m. to 6 p. m., '■
12:30; 6 p. m. to 10 p. m.—River- ;
bend. 1 \
Monday: 10 a. m. to 2 p. m.— :
Evening Craft; 2 p. m. to 6 p. m.—
Butte; 6 p. m. to 10 p. m.—dis- ]
plays are taken away. i
It will be the duty of the presi- \
dent of each of the above named j
clubs to see that a member or two J
are in the quonset at the hours ;
given. •
