Wilkes County is to have county fair this fall during the week of September 27th. This is the exact date of the last countywide fair held in Wilkes in 1916.
The stockholders met Saturday, June 19th, and elected a board of directors as follows: C.S. Coffey, E.E. Eller, E.G. Finley, D.J. Carter, R.E. Walters, C.C. Wright, H.H. Jennings, W.A. McNeill and H.H. Moorehouse. The following officers were elected:
--C.S. Coffey, president and general manager.
--E.G. Finley, vice-president and treasurer.
--Jack Quinn, secretary.
The fair will be held at the old fairgrounds. An exhibit hall will be built, the fence and grandstand has been replaced and repaired.
Mr. Coffey says they expect to have a real fair—horse racing, etc.
Everybody is urged to speak a good word for the Wilkes fair. A good fair will advertise this section in many ways.
