CountyFair EntriesWill Close July24 by Mary Fay Bryson Its time now for exhibitors to decide just what they plan to show at the 1947 Greene county fair. For those who have been showing their produce in past years, its just one more bit of routine. But for folks who never have exhibited anything, it may require a little special attention. First of all, secure a premium list from the Secretary, Mrs. J. Robert Bryson, Xenia, Ohio. Look for the type of articles in which you are in t e r e s t e d, whether in the department for sheep, poultry, handwork, cooking etc. Read the rules at the begin­ ning of your department and also the general rules at the front of the book. Check through the listings to find*the articles you have, then keep on looking, . . you may see other things mentioned which you have but which you had not thought about exhibiting* In livestock and poultry de­ partments there are entrance fees, depending on what you have and where you live. In tho 7th and 8 th departments, (art hall Y*>d grange hall) are found women’s exhibits. The woman who bakes a fine cherry pie may also make lus- cious rolls and clear jelly, She may as well show all of thess and more. The Hmijf in variety is bounded by her interest and ef­ fort. But of course only ONE entry for any article may be made. That is, ONE knitted swea. ter, ONE old sampler, ONE dis. play of marigolds, etc. In families where a member, ship or f a m i l y ticket (same thing) is owned, one person is permitted to exhibit on this tick., et. For other exhibitors, an exhib­ itor's ticket ($1,50) m u s t be bought. But this also permits its owner and car, to enter the fairgrounds once each, day of the fair. Count your costs, Its much more satisfactory to he an ex­ hibitor and attend every day than to spend tho same amount for entrance with fa r less return. Then too, you may "win prizes 1 The next step, is to be sure to make your entry in plenty of time. Thursday, July 24 a t 6:00 p. m. is the deadline. The office of the secretary (in the. commissioners' office, court house) will open Saturday, July 18. . . or you may mail your entries a n y t i m e now. (But PLEASE do NOT ask to phone them.) The sooner your entries come in the sooner your tags will be ready for you. If you wish your tags to be Sent by mail, be sure to include postage and any fees required. I t helps a lot, when you are showing things in different de­ partments, to use separate entry blanks for each department. If you need more blanks", the Sec­ retary Avill send them to you, Watch your calendar, . . /the fair is almost here* * , then “look out for frost and Christmas,” ac­ cording to the old saying, Yayhinger in New York City Ira D. Vayhinger, president of Cedarville college, is now in New York City on business for the local institution. Miss Marylin Powers, Dayton is visiting relatives here.

We will have many former ex­ hibitors on the grounds this year, now that they have products to sell,” he said. “And you would be surprised at the e x h i b i t s which will give a glimpse into the future, exhibiting modern equipment for the farm, the fact­ ory, the home and for individual use.” “We are trying to streamline the Ohio State fair to truly re- fleet this post-war p e r i o d in which the Buckeye state is play­ ing such an important role,” Mr, Bath stated, pointing out that early entries indicate that the livestock, agricultural, and edu. cational exhibits will keep pace with the “on the beam” progress of the remainder of the fair, AT SHOWING Mr* and Mrs* H.
