PAGE TW. THE OSHAWA DAILY TIMES, SATURDAY, SEPTEMBER 8, 1928 "Bigger and Better Than Ever" is Motto of Fair Directors Gates of Oshawa Fair Open to Public on 'Wednesday Morning S---- L All Indications Point to 1928 Exhibition Surpass- ing All Previous Records in Regard to Exhibits, Attractions and Attend- ance Once again the sands of time drift to the autumn of the year, and just, as it were, to usher in that glorious season of harvest and plenty, comes the annual Fall Fair of the South Ontario Agricultural Society, or bet- ter known, Oshawa Fair. Many years have passed and Osh awa Fair--let us call it that--has al- ways stood out for its enterprise and popularity but this year, 1928, will see the most outstanding Fair ever to be held in the long and eventful history of the organization, and if anyone is doubtful, let him tarry with us for a few minutes and some tof the events of this year's exposi- tion will be outlined. Before anything actually happens, there must be something behind it to either cause it to happen or to prepare it for happening--if you get our meaning. For instance if little Johnny takes a pin and bursts his sister's balloon, that's something which is caused to happen while if b for an event weeks, yes months ahead of time, that event is some- thing which is prepared to happen. Oshawa Fair is now prepared to take place. The stage is set as it were and now practically all that remains is for the of Tu Sep- tember 11, to dawn a a as possible to start the machinery in ac- tual motion for three glorious days of Fair, Fair and more Fair. The first day of Fair, Tuesday, September 11, is preparation day and the same above mentioned little Johnny doesn't have to climb the fence or at least attempt to, in order to see for nothing what's go- ing on. No admission is charged on Tuesday and indeed, everyone 1s wel- comed, provided they don't get into the road of busy men. Tuesday will see Johnny's cousin Tommy bringing up some art work or some vegetables or some needle work for his sister, to place in the tent provided for the Public School exhibits, The Pub- lic School exhibits will be bigger and better than ever this year. While the Public School exhibits are being arranged, horses and wa- gons, trucks and automobiles will be hurrying in and out of the grounds, bringing vegetables and flowers for the Main Building, horses, cattle, sheep and pigs for the stable build- ings and perhaps some artwork or an organization organizes for an event, plans and makes arrangements needle work for the Women's Build- ing. Everywhere there will be hustle J. 8. KYLE y President of the South Ontario Agri- cultural Society who is guiding the destinies of Oshawa Fair for the year 1928. and bustle because on the next day, Wednesday, the Fair iets under way, and there will be no time then to put things into order, And so by Wednesday, September 12, everything will be in readiness, And then the fun begins. As early as nine o'clock in the morning, people will be seen on the roads out- side Oshawa, with anticipation written on their faces, making their way for a certain place known as Alexandra Park, Finally they will arrive but many of the good towns- folk are probably there already Hogg & Lytle, Limited SCENES FROM OSHAWA FAIR IN PREVIOUS YEARS 1] a---- ALSIKE-- ahead of them, but what do the, tle farther south you run into |into the Main and Women's Build-| What's that?
