A PERMANENT FAIR ORGANIZATION.
The time has come for Grady county to initiate a per-,
manent fair association, for the purpose of making the
annual ebunty fair more successful in every way. , To
make the fair a greater success, such organization is
needed, not only for the benefit of financial strength, but
to interestall of the farmers and business men in the, coun
ty. ih the fair and in its growth.
It is not necessary, or perhaps expedient, at the out
set to go into the matter with too much haste, and with
the idea of getting in much money to build up the associ
ation. What is needed first is an aroused and enthusias
tic interest in the fair,, The f^rst year of the .association
could be devoted to the acquisition of a permanent
grounds, either by purchrse or] on long-term lease. If the
latter method should be used .in acquiring a < sitei, then
some construction of a plant Might be begun on a small
scale, commensurate with the ptrength of the organiza
tion. . Later large and convenient permanent building*
could be erected. / '/ I
,T"! Not only would such, an institution place the fair of.
a stronger footing, to the consequent benefit of the cqun-
ty, but the buildings] would be used fofr niany vipurpose*
for the, good of the farihers interests. Cant we provide t
