The fourth annual Concord Colored Fair opened this morning with a big parade and will continue the remainder of the week. The fair is being staged at the grounds of the Cabarrus County Fair Association.
M. C. Boger, president of the fair, stated this morning that everything was in readiness at the grounds. Dr. T. N. Spencer, secretary of the Cabarrus Fair aided Boger and his assistants with the fair this morning to see that everything moved off smoothly on opening day.
A big parade, made up of floats, private cars, exhibits and horseback riders, was the first feature of the fair. The parade formed at 10 o’clock at the old Logan school and went from there to South Union street, thence to Grove street, thence to Spring, thence to Depot and then to the fair grounds.
This being educational day at the fair, Rev. H. Wilson delivered an educational address at the ground this afternoon at 1 o’clock. Immediately after this, the race program was started. The race program started with a free-for-all, the purses ranging from$50 to $125.
Wednesday afternoon, in addition to the races, there will be a football game between price High School and a team from Winston-Salem.
The show on the midway carries a number of attractions.
