CURRY COUNTY FAIR EXCEEDS ALL
EXPECTATIONS IN EVERY MANNER
New U. of O. Girls
The 1949 Curry County Fair, which had been feared by the board
members for some w’eeks to be a “flop,” not only broke attendance
records this year, but the quantity and quality of exhibits far
exceeded hopes, held even as late as a week ago. While the com
plete list of winners is not at the moment available, southern
Curry County attended and exhibited in a manner that brought
gleams to the eyes of the board members, and visitors.
