County Fair to Feature New Exhibits and Enlarged Pavilion
The Umatilla and Morrow county fair directors announced major new features for the 1907 eastern Oregon fair. Exhibits from both counties will have free booth space in the pavilion, with individual booths limited by ground space, and a large electric motor installation to run demonstration machines. A hot house exhibit centered in the pavilion will showcase regional plant life, while art displays will be moved to the Martin building for better protection. Secretary Fitz Gerald reports plans to secure top Northwest bands and possibly a government irrigation map exhibit, with an eye toward expanding the pavilion if feasible.
