Society holds its fair at Forksville,
October 1 and 5. Every effort is
made to keep the fair free from the

and the Forksville Fair is each year
a truly agricultural fair. The ex
hibits of cattle, sheep and swine can
not be excelled in quality anywhere

make their lands produce, and their
manner of conducting a country fair.
