Murray suggested forming a new county fair association with broad representation to choose the best location. Commissioner Harry Shaw questioned the fair’s justification, noting seven hundred 4 H members and about seven thousand schoolchildren benefit from exhibits, a view urged to be reconsidered as school exhibits could suffice.
