Fair Association Elects Directors at San Saba Meeting
Stockholders of the San Saba fair Association held its annual meeting and elected a full slate of directors for the coming year. The secretary reported the 1923 fair paid for itself with a small balance, with gate fees set at 25 cents and most work by volunteers. A key resolution urged selling the association lands to the City of San Saba to create a public park, with stockholders reimbursed and lands kept public.
