Board Inspects Excavation Bids for Hagerstown Fair
The Hagerstown Fair Board opened bids for excavation work on the new grand stand at the Fairgrounds but took no action yet. A contract may be awarded in days. The old grand stand is nearly razed after two weeks of work and salvageable lumber will be sold to the highest bidder on Thursday at 2 p m. The board discussed plans for the 1950 Great Hagerstown Fair, aiming for an extra fine event with emphasis on agricultural exhibits and midway attractions in the absence of the grand stand.
