contests the Georgetown Fair Sept offers better more attractive prize money and lures top contenders to the community Mr Armstrong told The Herald The fall fair Mr Armstrong said carried a debt last

hand out prizes Mr Armstrong noted the heavy emphasis on family entertainment and good clean rides at the midway With plenty of food concessions corn roasts and a barbecue families can plan an entire day around the fair meals and all Theres such competition for the communitys leisure time Mr Arm strong commented that the fair board really has to work at having outstand ing exhibits competitions
