State Fair Adds New Hall Space At Montana Grounds
The State Fair unveils an 18600 square foot two story hall plan with a ground floor for agriculture mercantile and exhibits and an upper floor for art and discretionary divisions. Exhibitors urged to notify the secretary early to secure space as applications are processed. Rail concessions encourage bringing Montana products to the fair and possibly a statewide exhibit to reduce duplication with the World’s Fair. A separate note recalls a hot train incident and Dillon’s early job search before returning to the Big Hole basin.
