Fair Board proposes permanent concrete fair pavilion
A plan from President G Hurd and the district fair board calls for a permanent concrete pavilion on the C W R N property used by the fair. The Main street front would house a permanent office and exhibition room on the first floor with Commercial club quarters on the second. The scheme aims to provide stable quarters for both the fair and the Pendleton Commercial club, leveraging nearby railroad access for easy visitor reach. The Commercial club managing board questioned the furniture cost but overall support emerged during an informal noon meeting. The proposal hinges on favorable leasing terms from the railroad and endorsement from the Commercial club to proceed.
