This play was written by Annie Cara Ba;k, a West Virginian who has made the drilling and produc ing of home talent plays a specialty. This home talent play, "Union County Fair", has been her biggest and most ' successful. Wherever it has been giv en it has been an immense success, as it no doubt will be in. La Grande. The plan and plot of this play is very simple nothing but a county fair scene with all manner of people) coming to the fair. It will be a real picture of the real old time county fair, with displays innumerable of rich, yellow . pumpkins, big potatoes, immense squashes, monstrous ears of yellow corn, red apples and any and cvei-y.ma l ilu, mu ,vBo D1, f u.UT",."" - these farm products, but the needle- r 7 T - the thrifty .nhab.tants of this county wm w ".r- , While the displays above described are always looked for at the county fair yet the real interest of thu.

But after all, no amateur entertain ment at this day and age can be a success without plenty of good lively, up to date music, and we will have it in the county fair. One of the big musical features is a Moon chorus of little girls between the ages of three and nine. It's one of the prettiest and cutest ever. There will be another rhildren's chorus and six voune men and young ladies' choruses.
