That the fair held last year by the Cabarrus County Fair Association was but the beginning of bigger and better fairs is indicated by plans already adopted and perfected for the fair which will be held this year. Men familiar with fairs were of the opinion that the Cabarrus fair last year was one of the best ever held in the State, but present plans assure for the city this year an event that will eclipse in every detail the fair of last year.
Dr. T.N. Spencer, secretary of the fair and one of its moving spirits, has already perfected enough details to assure a record breaking event next fall. The free entertainments and horse races are always two of the leading events at any fair and the program for these events at the local fair are such as to banish any doubt as to the kind of event that is to be staged here.
The race card is much more attractive than the one offered last year, even though at that time some of the best race horses in the country were present. The entry list, except for three special races, has already been closed, and a survey of it shows the character of the races to be enjoyed here during the coming fair. Pries in the amount of $1,000 are to be offered for all of the principal events and for the three special races $500 prices will be offered in each.
The entertainments to be offered at the fair will be entirely different from the ones offered last year. This will be true of the shoes on the midway as well as the free attractions. frank West & Co., with 25 high class shows, will be on the midway and the following free acts will be offered each afternoon and evening at the grandstand:
The Dellemead Troupe, representing works of art of both ancient and modern sculptors.
The Earl Sisters, in double flying ladders.
Joe Kiljoy & Co., a novelty act.
The Ferris Wheel Girls, in aerial work on nickel plated revolving Ferris wheel.
Eldridge’s Performing Elephant.
Prof. John A. Park, balloon ascension.
Sterlingworth Fireworks.
In mentioning the fireworks displays for the fair Dr. Spencer stated that double the amount of money spent for this feature last year has been appropriated for this feature this year.
Dr. Spencer is now preparing the catalogue for the fair. The copy for the catalogue will be given to the printer about June 15th and the catalogue will be ready for distribution not later than July 1st.
Copies of the catalogue will be sent to practically every home in the county, and additional copies will be sent to other cities in this and other states. Interest in the fair is not centered in North Carolina alone, it is pointed out, for the very attractive premiums offered, and the prompt manner in which they were paid last year, have attracted the attention of persons in other States.
Officers of the fair want to get the catalogues in every home by July 1st so persons can become familiar with the articles on which premiums will be offered and can save their best goods to be entered.
