Fair date change made Umatilla County Fair officials have voted to move the 1975 fair to (he third week in August. The change of dale resulted from a decline in fair revenue, even though attendance this year was up. By changing the dale officials hope there will be greater attendance be cause many farmers and their families are too busy with harvest to take time off to attend the fair. The new Umatilla date coin cides with Morrow County's fair date. While officials so far have expressed no concern over Umatilla's change in dates, it is possible that unless different dates can be worked out both fairs would suffer. Many who attend the Morrow County Fair also attend the Umatilla County Fair, and vice versa. Both scheduled for the same week poses the problem of both fairs being hurl by dividing attendance.
