Zurich Fair Board needs
support of the community

ZURICH - The Agricultural Soci-
ety held their Fair Board meeting at
the Township hall last Thursday.
President Lloyd Otterbein chaired
the meeting with secretary -
treasurer Margaret Deichert who
gave the minutes and reported on
the District #8 annual dinner meet-
ing in October.
The main discussion during the
vening was on ways to get more
Zurich people interested and in-
volved in the local fair. The Society
needs the community's help and
ideas on how to make the fair better
and more interesting to the public.
One of the suggestions was to
send out questionnaires in order to

meeting will be held in January.
