Group of Unselfish Business Men
The bistory of the
ing County Fair association is a his
tory of the untiring Tabors and co
operations of unselfish men. Through
their efforts has been built a fair
that has reached in breadth of scope
and usefulness far beyond the orig
inal idea.
In 1912 several far-seeing business
men had an idea ‘that a fair in Grif
fin would bring many visitors to the
city, provide a means of displaying
the agricultural products and re
sources of the county and give
wholesome amusement to the people.
A mass meeting was called for the
purpose of considering the project.
The net result of this meeting was
the organization of the Griffin and
Spalding County Fair Association,
With the following officers: A. P.
Patterson, president-; R. O. Crouch,
vice ^president; E. ,'P. Bridges, secre
tary-treasurer. A dharter was ob
tained, the association was incorpor
ated and the founders set out~to sell
stock on the partial payment
One-third of the -amount bought
by .each stockholder .was paid in
cash, :the balance was never collect
ed. .After the fifth fair the officers
issued stock certificates for the total
amount of the original subscription.
In speaking of the early days of
the association A. P. Patt'erson said
that they did not have sufficient
money to carry out the plans, and
the officers and friends of the organ
ization donated the use of their
teams and laborers to be used in
grading the race track, Within
three weeks the track was completed
for the first races.
In talking of his connection with
thr fair E. P. Bridges, who was *ec
reUry-treasurer for „ . «ud
s,x years,
that he considered that Griffin had
made an excellent record in staging
eleven exhibitions without a single
failure. Be said that the association
had always paid all premiums and
obligations.
J. W. Hammond, who was the first
chairman of the executive committee,
says the officers of the first! fair had
to personally guarantee payment of
the obligations. (Since then, he says,
the asociation has had high credit.
One of the free attractions at
the fair was airplane flights. Now
the passage of a plane over Griffin
barely excites comment.
Presidents of the Fair Association
m October 9,

J- W. Hammond, 3 years; L. J. Gais- j
