History of'County Fair Association » IS UnC £ f llntlfing T x* * ¥ LaDOrS L £ O II Ol Ol 001311 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, have been, A. P. Patterson, 6 years; J- W. Hammond, 3 years; L. J.
