Jackson County, N.W. Wash
ington, S.W. Washington and
Oregon State Fairs and other
events for the past two years.
Also on hand at the Family
Fun Night will be a "big
robust fellow" named Quick

charm and interesting
sketches.

delicious roast beef dinner
make the fun night a "must"
on all fair-goers lists.
