Plans under way for fair
Georgetown Fair directors met after a potluck to plan the 1977 fall fair from Sept 30 to Oct 1. C.R. Fogal will serve as secretary-manager, replacing Mona Milne who is stepping back. Building reconstruction, space for exhibitors, and cancellation of the quarter horse show were discussed as space and costs rise. A $100 roadster stake was offered by Robt. Lane for light horse, prizes for handicrafts and flowers were trimmed, and parking access was reorganized to ease traffic. Admission set at 50 cents for children 12 and under and $1 for carloads.
