guarantee the success of the Fair. .
By supper time Saturday, and
continuing- all day Sunday, it was
rain, and more rain.
Lucknow Agricultural Society's
110th annual Fall' Fair drew an
estimated attendance of 3000 on
Saturday. The grounds were a bit
damp in places, but the Fair
directors shifted the events to
various locations with higher

seriously cur/tail any events.
Friday night, at the arena, the
inside events were open for the
public to view and about 300 people
took advantage of this. Glen
