NEW COMPETITION
For the first time the Kins-

so be in the arena. The com-
petition has five categories and
as far as is known at time of
writing, it is expected to have
a large number of entries.
The midway will be running
to provide the younger set with
the usual sport. Workmen were
busy on Tuesday morning start-
ing to set up the machinery for
the merry-go-round and other
•
rides.
The fair itself will have
about 75 booth spaces in which
exhibitors will display their
wares. The outside area will
again have tent space for the
larger items such as farm ma-
chinery.
Another item of interest
will be an exhibit placed in the
fair by the North Huron 4-H
Forestry Club which was organ-
ized early in the year. The ex-
hibit will be part of the club's
efforts in connection with
Achievement Day.
An unusual display will be
placed by William T. Sillick
of Teeswater. It will be an
array of semi-precious stones,
shells, fossils and petrified
wood. This is the first time
such an exhibit has been readi-
ed for the fair and should be
extremely interesting.
