Plans For Navajo County Fair Rolling Along
Plans for the 1979 Navajo County Fair proceed under Navajo County Recreation Director Frank Perkins. The fair is slated for September 12 at the county fairgrounds with discussions on shifting dates, youth day ideas, and a move to August. Entries use a computerized system, with forms mailed a week prior and tags printed at entry. The fair week features opening ceremonies, a county talent show, possible stage acts, rodeo, and horse races. The Navajo County Recreational Complex will relocate facilities to a county site east of Holbrook, with racetrack work projected for 1986 and relocation tied to ADOT plans. Continued on Page 10
