A COUNTY F A IR IN HERM ISTON.
The change of name from Umatilla Project Fair
to Umatilla County Pair was not made by the county
fair board and accepted by the project fair board
until several meetings were held and the question
well considered.
Umatilla county has not had a county fair for
many years. The county fair fund has been distri
buted to several local fairs, or product exhibits. The
project fair at Hermiston approached near county
fair. This fair dealt with all agricultural products,
with special devotion to livestock and 4-H club
work. During the last few years exhibit buildings
and livestock sheds have been built equal to that of
most county fair buildings in other part of the state.
There is no other locality with such equipment in
this county. In addition a live interest in county fair
benefits has been maintained and developed within
the scope of the project fair which included the far
thest part of the county.
It is now proposed to make the fair include inter
est and exhibits from all parts of the county to a
more inclusive degree. The management will ex
tend its directorship to all districts of the county,
and endeavor to secure competitive exhibits of all
phases of agriculture in the east end, the central and
the south end of the county, as well as the west end.
A county fair is entitled to a liberal minded and ac
tive support in such a large and highly diversified
county as Umatilla.
