COUNTY FAIR
[Welland Telegraph, 4 September 1891]
The committee on special attractions are busily engaged arranging for races and other good things. The races will include a free-for-all, a double team trot and several named races, in which all the speedy horses in the county are expected to go. A prize of $15 will be offered for singing by schools of children, each school to consist of teacher and 20 or more children. All schools entering for this prize will be admitted free. As the committee on special attractions are now moving to secure suitable specialises for the fair, would it not be well to consult the interests of farmers and farmer’s wives? Why cannot put this committee, in conjunction with the Farmer’s Institute, make an effort to get the “Travelling Dairy” to spend a day here? The Hon. John Dryden, Minister of Agriculture, has cancelled all future engagements in order to place the professors at the disposal of the different fair associations. Many of its members of Welland county society are directly interested in the butter trade, and it would no doubt be a very interesting subject for such members, as well as a large multitude who are deeply interested in the consumption of good butter. Let action be taken immediately.
