Many from other cqunties came too. Libertyville, s Harvard, Waukegan, Woodstock and Chicago all were represented in tbe signatures on, the guest book. As nearly as can be computed at this early date, the visitors numbered 1800' On Friday evening, a preview of the exhibits acquainted the committee with the contributing artists and: their work. Mayor Fneund apt! softie of the members of the C^bnSieiK o£ Commerce and other of' the town's dignitaries, were present. The local artists were all invited and many came. Everyone was delighted with the arrangement of the paintings as well as the extent of exhibits. There were many works of art other than paintings. Brass and wood displayed the artistry of some of our local people. To all this beauty was added ^he lovely atmosphere of the room and the building itself. Refreshments and good > ; conversation with friends and visitors mige this- a gala event w|r The local i^ists who donated fifty paintin^||nd exhibited 150 others .Were Kafrpy about the enthusiasm displayed by the viewers. Many of th^^e paintings were sold from the regular exhibition. The auction of $fte donated paintings by the locals was a satisfying success. In the w<jrk of the artists a good crosst£«$j6n of the many different -sclipelji of thought on art were represented--from the conservatively the latest nonobjectivisn# - One of ttt#$bntributing reasons for the success of the show was the great enthusiasm with which the local artists entered into the spirit of the project. A number of artists whp,. failed to enter the show expressed their interest in the ne^ts or|e. To, them and to others who may like to exhibit in the futile, the chairman suggests they send their request to Mrs. Richajrd Wilhelm, 611 Grove street,' McHapO'. who is now compiling data' and gathering information for the next art fair. A surprising number of paintings bT the invited artists were sold. These paintings comprised the work of some of the bestknown, contemporary artists of the<2tffcago area. A OT small ^incidents occurred th^t"demo'ristrated the fact that the adult population of the county does not have a "corner" on the market of art appreciation. Young Robert Beckenbaugh, who recently set up business on Riverside driVe asv a shoe-shine Artist, bought three paihtings at ;the auction and paid for them from his own earnings.

A sincere vote of thanks goes to all who helped. Some have been thanked personally others publicly.
