Everything is ready for the opening of the greatest fair ever staged by the Roanoke Fair Association next Monday night. The midway will be running full blast, for the train will arrive here early Sunday, and there will be ample time for the construction of all the rides and the opening of the many amusements. An elaborate display of fireworks has been ordered especially for this night, and all the free acts will be offered that night.
Tuesday has been designated as Children’s Day, and thousands are expected to be here that day. All the schools of the county will close for the event, and the children will come as the guests of the fair association. No admission fee will be charged, the gates being open to all teachers and children at 5:30 in the afternoon. Invitations have been broadcasted over seven counties, inviting the school children of each to visit the fair that day, and they will be admitted free. Present indications point to one of the largest gatherings of children in this section ever, and a day running over with a holiday spirit and real pleasure is expected.
Passes to all the teachers will be mailed this week, and since the children are children, they will enter free.
