SENIOR CITIZENS READY TO BOARD BUS FOR STATE FAIR Senior Citizens Attend North Carolina State Fair MRS. BERTHA FORTE Home Eco. Exten. Agt. Senior Citizens of Warren County attended one of North Carolina's biggest events of the year on Monday, Oct. 19, when they attended the North Carolina State Fair In Raleigh. The Ninth Annual Fun Festival for Senior Citizens was the highlight for the day and was entertaining for everyone. A. K. Pltzer, manager of N. C. State Fair Introduced Commissioner James A. Graham of the N. C. Department of Agriculture, who gave an address of welcome. He told the Senior Citizens "this is your day make it great," and for many it was great; as Mrs. Charlie Hawkins stated, "for the past fifty years I have been wanting to attend the State Fair and this Is my first time to attend." Entertainment for the Senior Citizens included competition for cash prizes awarded to the first and second place win ners In each event, for the largest onion, sweet potato, Irish potato, ear of corn, red pepper pod, and the most unusual gourd. A hog and cow calling contest was held for both ladies and men. Entertainment from the Fair Shows was an unusual puppet show which was enjoyed by all. Senior citizens found it most Interesting to observe the educational and commercial exhibits, and to attend the flower show, wishing to grow some of the many beautiful flowers and arrange them in such manners for display. Attending the flower show also created for many of these citizens an appreciation for some of the wild flowers and other common flowers grown around the home. Bingo was another point of interest enjoyed by some members of the group, with Mrs. Ella B. Kearney returning to the county with a lovely smoking stand won in bingo.
