JjT h e premium lists for the 1928
Linn County Fiee Fair will be
ready for distribution by August
24.
Although arrangements for hand­
ling the fair this year were late in
getting under way, Mr. L.E. A rn­
old, secretary, and Miss Pauline
Burch, assistant secretary, feel that
more than usual interest and coop
eration are being manifested by tbs
exhibitors and taxpayers all over
the county, and it is believed by
the executive committee th at the
Free Fair plan will be a h ’ghlv
successful expeiimeut.
Thirteen orgdniied communities
have already reserved space for
their exhibits in the pavilion.
Keen iuterest is being shown by
members of tho Boys’ and Girls'
clubs. The Boys’ and G irls’ club
of Benton county, through their
county agent have requested tbr
privilege of coming to o ir fair in a
group and holding a judging con­
test just after the Linn county hoys
and girls have held theirs. They,
however, w'll not be permitted to
compete for premiums, their con
test being held entirely for the en­
joyment and benefit of the club
members.
Every effort is being made to se
cure an interesting program for
afternoons and evenings.
The Shedd community was t'ue
name drawu this year and they will
have the privilege of sending the
queen to the fair.
