A11 through thi iall lair - >e:❑
there has been one topic of
versation and argument At thi.
reporter has heard ote.r and over
again. It is this, 'Are the large
fairs squeezing out the gond old
rural ,prows?" Some say that the
stuall• fairs can not compete nith
the larger shote., and 'lundd lust
give up the fight. Other. ':,y that
the small rural skims he. ;, real
place its the contnuulity and with
proper guidance r,arl,l tl�iee ,:nd
prosper.
Iwt brrau.e ti r lairs drr.,
a lot of the. people from 11,
arras some thinly that the sural
fair should thcrciore imitate the
C.N.E. and put up a big show
with professional entertainment and
plenty of ballyhoo. t.; attract their
crowds. Other- claim that when
the sr'all fair •tttunpt, to do this
It has lost its reasou for vi-t:nce
and will surely roil.
One of the fair- ne attended this
year was full of typical rural activi-
lies and sports. 'Ihr•y had a Greased
pig,. Cita-e, where Ali, row ti• -lata'
got completely covered with stud
and could not catch the porker for
about ten minutes. 'There wa-
greased pole climbing feat that had
everyone roaring with laughter.
There Stas a hors, -hoe making con-
test, which mo -t of the city peo-
ple had never seen before. There
was a small pool with a log -rolling
competition going on, and after the
log -rolling and jousting several
ducks were tethered in the pool and
prizes were given to anyone who
could throw a ring over .their necks.
There was not a professional en-
tertainer on the grounds and the
city people who saw it all swore
they would not have n;i..erl it I r
the world.
