ANNOUNCEMENT.
On June 27, 1H14, the Canadian County Fair Association was organized
and a charter applied for.
The object of this association is the holding of annual fair* anil ex
hibitions and entertainments for the purpose of developing the various
resources of Canadian County and the education, refinement and general
betterment of the people, also to give our business men the, chance to
show .he farmers their real appreciation of their co-operation to make
Canadian County the first in the State. II has already been demonstrated
that Canadian County is one of the first in the agricultural section of I
the State. Their people are intelligent, ambitious and progressive Their
farmers and breeders are leaders in breeding, raising and feeding of I
improved livestock and the planting of improved seeds.
If we can get the real co-operation of the farmers of the County, |
we will have no trouble of show ing (Jo- best eounfv exhibit that we have j

This association is not a money making scheme, more a "get

This project, originated in the Chamber of Commerce anil
sparing neither- time nor money to make it success. Thpir
re n.ak'ng cash donations to cover the cash premiums and ar
haul for the success of the Fair.
The County Commissioners have also agreed to give cnsli premiums on
livi stock and agricultural products to the amount of $500, whi h we
qiree'iate very much.
We have leased of C H. Leske, the large building on North Rock
Island, known as the Convention Hall, where most of the products will
be exhibited. The owners of one or two vacant buildings in the business
district have also offered us the free use of their buildings In case we
need them.
Special credit is due to, Mr. c. L. Engle, cashier of the Citizen's National
Bank, for offering us, through the Chamber of Commerce, the large brick
livery barn, located on North Bickford, in which most of the live stock
ill lie displayed
Mr J. i' I'etree has also offered us the use of Ills barns in case tU">

that at a very small expense.
