Festival funds show likely break even in Washington
Chairman Lloyd Lytle of the festival general committee says funds from business donations and concessions will likely cover expenses. After fears of a shortage following last Friday's event, extra receipts from Saturday boosted coffers. A committee session will soon finalize the financial status with most bills in, and a small deficit may be needed to balance. The reaction to this year’s festival was the best in three years, with strong attendance and a favorable impression of the farm products show.
