efforts. Much work and pride went into it, and continued
attention is needed to have it be suitable for year-around
gatherings and shows. Late this year, for example, the Fair
Association, in cooperation with the American Cancer
Society, will host a huge train display. It’s slated to run
between Christmas and New Year’s Day.
The final point in all this work and dedication is that the
entire community is to have all the facilities to enjoy. Every
day.
“The community made this fair,” a Fair Committee
member said convincingly.

And there’ll be more to
choose from.
