There will be a Columbia county |
event on Tuesday morning, Septem-
ber 27, and an open event on Fri-
day morning, October 1. An open
event was staged last year and
proved such a feauture that two pre-
sentations were arranged for this
ar,
The fair is doing this in recogni-
tion of the part which the animals
are playing on the “food for free-
dom” front and in accord with the
policy of featuring agriculture above
all other presentations in an exhibi-
tion solidly aligned behind the war
effort.
There will be two classes each day, |

Another feature of 1042 fair
which is to be enlarged this year is
the free entertainment at the judg-

early evening. Acts of the same cal-
ibre those presented before the
grandstand will be given. The arena
seals 1.000 and the fair officials de-
cided that while the patrons rested
from their trips around the State's
biggest fair grounds, they should be
entertained.
The gala night show starts Mon-
day, September 27. The four-day
