Lots of people are asking us about the Fair and we only have time to tell them that the premium list is much longer than last year, that if they expect to get a cash premium or a ribbon they will have to prepare early and bring something. The prizes will be awarded on what you bring to the Fair and not what you have at home. The Judges can’t pass on something you say you have at home is better than the other fellow’s. Fix it up right and bring it along, September 20th-24th.
