-•->* ^ r-^ X ^ »> rr4gyggffeT<;. .v V t e a g ^ The NYSSA vullmë xxxxi Improvements W ill Be Made On Fairgrounds In Ontario The 1946 Malheur county fair and rodeo will be held Saturday, Sun day and Labor day, August 31, and September 1 and 2, was the decis ion of the County Fair Board at a meeting held early this week. The board, assisted by an advisory committee, made a thorough in spection of the fair grounds to de termine the necessary improvement to be made before this year’s show. “ We are returning to a regular full-scale fair for the first time in several years with open classes in exhibits as well as classes for 4-H and Future Farmers, said Bill Ross, chairman of the board. "Space will be provided for exhibit booths sponsored by the Granges, service clubs, and local commercial firms. W e hope to make this a fair that Malheur county people will enjoy taking part in as well as one they can be proud of.” Several enlargements and im provements will be made on the grounds. Plans to reconstruct part of the livestock exhibit buildings were considered. Improvements that will include construction of a show arena to be used for livestock jud ging, providing seating space for spectators, will be made. Enlarge ment of corrals and rearrangements of shutes and lanes to make a smoother and faster show are plan ned and will be completed before the fall show. The question of opening the rodeo to all competitors, professional and amateur, or continuing with a strictly amateur show was discuss ed at length. The decision was with held until the next meeting, which will be called within two weeks.
