Mooresville Enterprise
Iredell county, and south Iredell in particular, sent hundreds of visitors to Concord last week to see the exhibits at the fair and to witness the high class races. All are rejoiced that Cabarrus has such progressive men backing the institution to have made it the success it proved to be. The exhibits in live stock, cattle, poultry, manufactures, culinary, domestic art, etc., while not so large as some fairs, quality made up for any deficiency in quantity. Mr. Joe Cannon and his assistants are to be congratulated on the big show. The nominal cost to the visitors was a feature freely discussed and approved.
Of course, that coney Island midway was a feature that held hundreds for the night time amusements, all of which were thoroughly enjoyed.
It demonstrates, too, that a fair is a practical failure where amusements are not permitted. People love the big noise and there are thousands who never indulge in any sort of care free amusements except at a fair, and they will travel many miles to see the attractions of a midway.
On the whole, old Cabarrus, with the assistance of her neighbors, pulled off a tremendous event. Do it again, boys. We are with you.
