Everthing is in readiness for the
biggest and best county fair Tilla­
mook county has ever seen. Enthusi­
asm runs high among the grown-ups
and children alike, for this is one time
when all can participate. Boys and
girls are busy preparing exhibits
along with the older folks, and ex­
hibits in all lines promise to be more
numerous and better than ever before.
A very fine program has been ar­
ranged, with something doing every
day. Music by the Tillamook band is
promised, singers will be there, Ind­
ians, horse races, everything that
goes to make up a first class good
time for everyone will be there.
The fair board, County Agent Pine
and David Kennedy, club leader, have
been tireless in their efforts to im­
prove the fair this year, and their
efforts bid fair to be successful.
What if it should rain, even that could
not dampen the ardor of the Tilla-
mooker who is proud of his county
fair.
