Successful Fair Nears End After Busy Weekend
Crowds at the Fredenck Fair matched or exceeded last year as grandstand and midway attractions drew strong attendance for a second night. Officials said overall receipts may not reach year ago, but attendance should rival 1946 levels as exhibitors vacate the grounds. About 250 onlookers filled the grandstand Friday afternoon for the cavalcade and races. Race horses were shipped out that night, with Cetlin and Wilson shows being dismantled for Richmond’s Atlantic Exposition next week.

VA scrutinizes University of Maryland plans to raise student fees by 520 to fund a 1.45 million building project for a stadium chapel and pool. University President Byrd says no state funds will be involved and higher fees will cover some costs while the GI Bill funds must be used for education and training. The VA considers whether it can or must pay the increased fee amid questions of capital equipment eligibility and potential misinformation.

Fair Week Memories Hold Fragments Of Past Town Fun
Retrospective on Frederick Fair Week recalls a bygone era with crowds on Market and Patrick streets, dances at Armory and Cotillion Ball, and lively night-time entertainments once hosted by the Myrkle Harder Company, contrasted with today's quieter celebrations and changing venues.
