The Vermont State Fair Com
mission issued a dainty little 4
page folder setting forth the va
lue of fairs io general to the
community and to the common
wealth. The generous spirit
in which the subject is treated
is impressive. The commission
say:
"The community fair, the
county fair, and the State fair
are vital to the welfare of the
people. They have become a
fixed annual event looked for
ward to by old and young with
interest and ardor. -
Once a year the best pro
ducts of skill, industry, invent
ion and culture are assembled
These exhibits display the best
fruits of the soil, the highest
standards of breeding of stock,
the most useful tools and ap
pliances made in the shop and
factory. They are all gather
ed in one place and they show
the best things grown and
made by the most enlightened
and advanced minds. The fairs
little and great, are schools to
teach the young and the old
rho' quickest "and edisest way to
acqiure the benefits provided.
They sh&w the improvements
made in many lines the previ
ous twelve months. They place
us all on the road to better
things. .
Fairs assemble the people
from far and wide for social in
tercourse, for education, for
relaxation, and entertainment.
They furnish the best known
means of stimulating the peo
ple to greater effort to acquire
that which will bring about the
best in soil culture, stock breed
ing and manufacturers."
The folder also gives the
dates of all fairs to be held in
Vermont this year.
