County Fair Booth
Planning Pointers
Given in Bulletin
The county fair Is as much a
part of the American tradition as
barn dancing or baseball. But
the county fair is now changing
to keep up with the modern Am
erican way of life and commun
ity fair booths should reflect this
trend, according to a new bulle
tin released by the Oregon State
college extension service.
The number of farmers has de
creased through the years, and
many communities have turned
to trades other than agriculture,
the bulletin points out. Contin
uing its traditional role as a
"show-window" for communities, '
the fair now tells the story of
forestry, manufacturing, recreat-;
ion, and many other enterprises
as well as agriculture.
Written to help individuals,
clubs, . organizations tell the
story of their community most
successfully, the new bulletin
suggests a step-by-step method
of planning a community booth.
Determining who will see the
booth, what it is to say, selection
of a theme, and sketching a plan
are discussed.
The bulletin also lists attract
iveness, story-telling ability, and
simplicity as keys to good booth
design. How to develop a center
of Interest, use of color, and ways
to keep the booth balanced yet
simple are discussed with the use
of colored illustrations. Informat
tion is given on maferials that
can be used in building a booth.
Titled, "Planning a Community
Fair Booth," the bulletin was pre
pared by Dwight Fairbanks and
Curtis Reid, OSC extension visual
instruction specialists, in cooper
ation with the extension staffs
at the State College of Washing
ton and the University of Idaho.
Oregon residents can get a co
py of the new bulletin at their
local county extension office.
